IDF Identifies Iranian General Behind Attempted Drone Attack
The IDF identified on Tuesday the Iranian commander responsible for a planned drone attack on Israel: General Javad Ghaffari, who has charge of the “Quds Force” in Syria.
“Tens of thousands of Shiites from various nations are operating under Ghafari in Syria,” an IDF statement said.
