Syria: very rare assassination targeting a high-ranking IRGC Officer. Yesterday Colonel Dawood Jafari was killed by a roadside IED in area of Damascus. Advisor, he took part in arrest of US soldiers in 2016 in the Persian Gulf. Finger pointed at Israel. https://t.co/eOSTGLVPrR pic.twitter.com/gn7FaGlFAq
