Iran proxy militias \u2013 such as Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah in Lebanon \u2013 have launched repeated, aggressive attacks on Israel for months since October 7 when Hamas invaded Israel, killing roughly 1,200 people and taking hundreds more as hostages. The Houthis in Yemen, another Iranian proxy group, has attacked shipping through the Red Sea in retaliation for Israel\u2019s war against Hamas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An Israeli airstrike on April 1 killed Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior commander of the elite Quds Force of Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard (IRGC), and his deputy Mohammad Hadi Haji-Rahimi. Five other IRGC officers were killed. The strike hit part of the Iranian embassy complex in Damascus, Syria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Iran promised retaliation for the strike, sending the Israeli and U.S. militaries into high alert.
