Iran’s martyred anti-terror commander General Qassem Soleimani was behind the idea of surrounding the Israeli regime with missiles, and he succeeded in finalizing and implementing his plan, says a senior member of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah.
Mahmoud Qamati, a member of the Political Council of Hezbollah, said if the Lebanese resistance movement is ready to go to war with Israel and relies on its own missiles and drones, it is because of the great efforts made by General Soleimani.
“Martyr Soleimani’s idea was to encircle Israel, and he managed to do so in practice. It was Martyr Soleimani who made plans for the missiles of Lebanon and Gaza, as well as Iraq and even Yemen,” Iran’s Tasnim news agency on Sunday quoted Qamati as saying.
General Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), was assassinated in a US drone strike authorized by former US president Donald Trump near Baghdad International Airport on January 3, 2020.
He has been praised in the region as the champion in the fight against terrorist groups, particularly Daesh, which has been supported by the United States and the Israeli regime.
Highlighting the world-renowned general’s endeavors, Qamati said the Lebanese resistance movement, as part of the broader Axis of Resistance in the region, was founded by General Soleimani.
He said General Soleimani managed to transform the resistance in all aspects due to his “pioneering spirit” and “strategic outlook.”
“He was among us in resistance operation rooms since the 2006 war,” Qamati recalled, adding that General Soleimani began to help with the reconstruction of Lebanon immediately after the war.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps’ (IRGC) Intelligence Unit says Iran will consider the Israeli regime’s shelters “legitimate targets” if residential areas in the country come under attack.
In a post published on social media platform X on Tuesday, the IRGC said that any strikes on residential areas in Iran would give Iran’s armed forces the right to attack Israeli shelters in the occupied lands.
The IRGC stated that it has intelligence on the blueprints and the exact locations of these shelters.
Iran began its Operation True Promise 4 after the US and Israel launched their joint military aggression against the Islamic Republic in late February by assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, and several senior Iranian officials.

In a fresh wave of retaliatory strikes, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) targeted the Israeli regime’s “secure” intelligence facilities in Tel Aviv.
The IRGC’s Public Relations Department said in a statement on Tuesday that it had carried out the 79th wave of its ongoing retaliatory Operation True Promise 4 against the Israeli and American targets.
Deploying powerful Kheybar Shekan, Emad, and Sejjil missiles alongside IRGC Aerospace Force kamikaze drones, the operation successfully breached the regime's multi-layered air defense systems, the statement said.
The missiles, it stated, targeted Israel’s intelligence facilities in northern and central Tel Aviv, as well as military commercial and support centers in Ramat Gan and the Negev.
The missiles also hit Israel’s southern military logistics and command headquarters in Beersheba.
The missile strikes triggered widespread panic across Israel and forced the suspension of a Knesset (parliament) session on Tuesday.
