Funeral held for Iranian military advisors killed in Israeli strike on Damascus mission
Thousands of people have taken part in the funeral processions for Iranian military advisors, who lost their lives in an Israeli missile strike against the consular section of Iran’s Embassy in the Syrian capital city of Damascus.
The participants carried the victim’s coffins, draped with the national Iranian flag, during a ceremony at the holy shrine of Hazrat Ruqayyah (SA) in Damascus on Tuesday night.
The mourners asserted they will tread the path of the fallen Iranian military figures until the collapse of global arrogance as well as Zionism, as they marked Laylat al-Qadr or the Night of Destiny, the occasion when the Holy Qur’an was revealed to the Prophet of Islam some 14 centuries ago.
They pledged that Israeli actions will not go unpunished.
The participants also vowed that the blood of the martyrs will not be in vain, as it would further encourage Muslims to vigorously fight for the full liberation of the occupied Old City of al-Quds and performance of mass prayers at the al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
The mourners in the ceremony also emphasized that the Zionist enemy commits its crimes out of desperation, because it has bogged itself down in Gaza quagmire and is looking for a way out of the predicament.
