Iran warns of harsh response-Top Iranian IRGC commander said killed in alleged Israeli strike on Damascus-Airstrike levels building near Iran embassy, reportedly killing Mohammad Reza Zahedi, Iran’s most senior military figure in Syria; some reports say destroyed building was consulate-By Emanuel Fabian-and Agencies Today, 7:11 pm-APR 1,24

The Israeli Air Force allegedly carried out an airstrike on a building next to Iran’s embassy in Syria on Monday, reportedly killing at least six people including a top Iranian commander.The strike in the Damascus-area municipality of Mezzeh hit a building adjacent to the Iranian embassy, footage showed.Iran’s SSN news website said the targeted building was Iran’s consulate and ambassador’s residence.A Reuters report said the consulate was “flattened,” in what it said was “a startling apparent escalation of conflict in the Middle East that would pit Israel against Iran and its allies.”Iran’s Tasnim news agency cited sources who indicated that at least six people were killed in the strike. It said the number was not yet officially confirmed.Among those killed in the strike was senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps official Mohammad Reza Zahedi, according to security sources speaking to Reuters and media reports in Iran.Zahedi has been reported to be a top commander in IRGC’s Quds Force — responsible for the unit’s operations in Syria and Lebanon, and thus the most senior commander of Iranian forces in Syria and Lebanon.Tasnim reported that Zahedi’s deputy was also killed in the strike.Reuters quoted Iran’s ambassador in Syria warning that Iran’s response to the strike would be harsh.Footage from the scene showed that the targeted building had been destroyed in the strike. Next to the rubble, an Iranian flag was seen flying over the Iranian embassy.Syria’s state-run SANA broadcaster claimed air defense systems had engaged the alleged Israeli attack, downing some of the missiles.SANA said rescue authorities were working to extract dead and wounded people from under the rubble.While Israel does not, as a rule, comment on specific strikes in Syria, it has admitted to conducting hundreds of sorties against Iran-backed terror groups attempting to gain a foothold in the country over the last decade. The Israeli military says it attacks arms shipments believed to be bound for those groups, chief among them Hezbollah. Additionally, airstrikes attributed to Israel have repeatedly targeted Syrian air defense systems.Faced with ongoing attacks by the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group and Shiite militias throughout the Middle East in the wake of Hamas’s brutal October 7 massacre, which sparked the ongoing war in Gaza, Israel has escalated its strikes on Iran-linked terror targets in Syria, killing numerous IRGC operatives, as well as members of Hezbollah and other Iranian proxy groups.In December, senior IRGC officer Brig. Gen. Razi Mousavi was killed in an alleged Israeli airstrike in Damascus, drawing Iranian threats of retaliatory action.Monday’s strike came hours after a drone launched by an Iran-backed militia in Iraq struck an Israeli Navy base in Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat, causing damage to a hangar.

US, Israeli officials to hold virtual meeting on contentious Rafah operation-Netanyahu canceled Israeli team’s diplomatic trip to Washington last week after US opted not to veto ceasefire resolution in UN Security Council-By Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 7:41 pm-APR 1,24

Senior US and Israeli officials were planning to hold a virtual meeting on Monday to discuss the Biden administration’s alternative proposals to an Israeli military operation in Rafah, a US official said.“The meeting is scheduled for today. It will be online. There may be a meeting in person later this week,” confirmed an Israeli source, speaking on condition of anonymity.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called off a planned visit to Washington last week by a senior Israeli delegation after the US allowed passage of a Gaza ceasefire resolution at the United Nations Security Council on Monday, marking a new war-time low in his relations with President Joe Biden.Two days later, Israel asked the White House to reschedule a high-level meeting on military plans for Gaza’s southern city of Rafah, officials said, in an apparent bid to ease tensions between the two allies.The US team in the talks will be led by Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, the official said.The United States, concerned about the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, wants Israel to consider alternatives to a ground invasion of Rafah, the last relatively safe haven for more than 1 million displaced Palestinian civilians.Netanyahu, on the other hand, has insisted that Israel must be able to enter the city as it has the rest of the territory in order to root out Hamas’s remaining brigades, as Israeli forces try to eradicate the group after the October 7 attack on Israel, in which terrorists murdered some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapped 253.The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza claims that more than 32,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel in the war, but the number cannot be independently verified and is believed to include both Hamas terrorists and civilians.The IDF says it has killed over 13,000 terrorists in Gaza, in addition to some 1,000 who were killed inside Israel on and immediately following October 7.Israel has been facing increasing international pressure for a ceasefire, but insists that the war will not end until Hamas is fully dismantled. To that end, the cabinet approved plans last week for an IDF operation in Rafah, where four of the terrorist organization’s battalions remain.It is also believed that Hamas leadership remains in the southern area of the Gaza Strip along with at least some of the 130 hostages that are still being held in the territory. Hamas released 105 of the hostages during a week-long truce in November and four before that. The IDF also rescued three hostages during the war.Of the remaining hostages, the IDF has confirmed that at least 34 were killed either on October 7 or during their subsequent captivity.

Russia says 4 arrested for funding, arming Moscow concert attackers-FSB says it foiled additional plot by suspects in ISIS shooting at Crocus City Hall, which killed over 140 people-By AFP Today, 7:35 pm-APR 1,24

MOSCOW, Russia — Russia’s FSB security service has said that four people arrested Sunday in a foiled “terror” plot had provided money and arms for the deadly attack on a Moscow concert hall last month.More than 140 people were killed when gunmen stormed the Crocus City Hall venue on March 22 before setting the building on fire in the most fatal attack in Russia for two decades.The FSB said in a statement on Monday that it had arrested a group of four a day earlier in the southern Dagestan region who “were directly involved in the financing and supply of terrorist means to the perpetrators of the terrorist act carried out on 22 March in the Crocus City Hall in Moscow.”On Sunday, Russia’s national anti-terrorism committee said it had apprehended three people who were “planning to commit a series of terrorist crimes.”The FSB said Monday that four foreign citizens had been arrested in the operation in the regional capital Makhachkala and the nearby town of Kaspiysk.The Interfax news agency cited an FSB video showing one of the detained men saying: “I took weapons to them, these guys who attacked Crocus City Hall. I took them weapons from Makhachkala.”The FSB published a video of the interrogation of the alleged detainee in Dagestan-In the recording, the man admits that together with other detainees he allegedly planned to organize an explosion in Kaspiysk: in Victory Park or on the embankment.In addition, the detainees,… pic.twitter.com/UdM2mzTFlH— NEXTA (@nexta_tv) April 1, 2024-Russian authorities had previously announced the arrests of 12 people they say are connected to the attack — including the four suspected gunmen, who have been identified as Tajik citizens.The Investigative Committee, which probes major crimes, said separately on Monday that it was formally charging another suspect with carrying out a “terrorist attack.” It said it would ask a judge to send him to pre-trial detention.“At the moment, the investigation has charged 10 defendants,” it said in a statement.The Islamic State (IS) has claimed responsibility for the massacre, the most deadly it says it has ever carried out on European soil, though Russian President Vladimir Putin has talked up a Ukrainian and Western connection.Kyiv and the West have repeatedly denied any involvement and accused Moscow of “exploiting” the tragedy.Dagestan is a Muslim-majority region in Russia’s southern Caucasus region.The FSB has come under scrutiny over its failure to thwart the attack despite private and public warnings by the US intelligence community that “extremists” were planning an “imminent” attack on “large gatherings” in Moscow.The agency regularly announces it has foiled alleged “terrorist cells,” but in recent months has mainly announced the arrests of what it calls pro-Ukrainian saboteurs planning attacks on Russian military sites and infrastructure.

Kremlin dismisses US, German reports Russia behind ‘Havana Syndrome’Putin government says no evidence to back up claims military intelligence was present at scenes where American spies reportedly suffered health incidents-By Guy Faulconbridge Today, 4:55 pm-APR 1,24

MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) — The Kremlin on Monday dismissed a report that Russian military intelligence may be behind the mysterious “Havana syndrome” ailment that has afflicted US diplomats and spies globally.Insider, a Russia-focused investigative media group based in Riga, Latvia, reported that members of a Russian military intelligence (GRU) unit known as 29155 had been placed at the scene of reported health incidents involving US personnel.The year-long Insider investigation in collaboration with “60 Minutes” and Germany’s Der Spiegel also reported that senior members of Unit 29155 received awards and promotions for work related to the development of “non-lethal acoustic weapons.”“This is not a new topic at all; for many years the topic of the so-called ‘Havana Syndrome’ has been exaggerated in the press, and from the very beginning it was linked to accusations against the Russian side,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters when asked about the report.“But no one has ever published or expressed any convincing evidence of these unfounded accusations anywhere,” Peskov said. “Therefore, all this is nothing more than baseless, unfounded accusations by the media.”A US intelligence investigation whose findings were released last year found that it was “very unlikely” a foreign adversary was responsible for the ailment, first reported by US embassy officials in the Cuban capital Havana in 2016.Symptoms of the ailment have included migraines, nausea, memory lapses, and dizziness.The Insider report said the first incident of “Havana Syndrome” symptoms may have happened earlier than 2016.“There were likely attacks two years earlier in Frankfurt, Germany, when a US government employee stationed at the consulate there was knocked unconscious by something akin to a strong energy beam,” the report said.US Congress passed the Havana Act in 2021 authorizing the State Department, CIA, and other US government agencies to provide payments to staff and their families affected by the ailment during assignment.

Iran alerted Russia to security threat before Moscow attack, sources say-Tehran gained information from suspects linked to Kerman bombing in Iran, but material it provided to Russians lacked specific details of ISIS-Khorasan plans-By Parisa Hafezi Today, 3:59 pm-APR 1,24

DUBAI, April 1 (Reuters) — Iran tipped off Russia about the possibility of a major “terrorist operation” on its soil ahead of the concert hall massacre near Moscow last month, three sources familiar with the matter said.In the deadliest attack inside Russia in 20 years, gunmen opened fire with automatic weapons at concertgoers on March 22 at the Crocus City Hall, killing at least 144 people in violence claimed by the Islamic State group.The United States had also warned Russia in advance of a likely militant Islamist attack but Moscow, deeply distrustful of Washington’s intentions, played down that intelligence.It is harder, however, for Russia to dismiss intelligence from diplomatic ally Iran on the attack, which has also raised questions over the effectiveness of Russian security services. Moscow and Tehran, both under Western sanctions, have deepened military and other cooperation during the two-year Ukraine war.“Days before the attack in Russia, Tehran shared information with Moscow about a possible big terrorist attack inside Russia that was acquired during interrogations of those arrested in connection with deadly bombings in Iran,” one of the sources told Reuters.Iran arrested 35 people in January, including a commander of Islamic State’s Afghanistan-based branch ISIS-Khorasan (ISIS-K), who it said were linked to twin bombings on January 3 in the city of Kerman that killed nearly 100 people.Islamic State claimed responsibility for the Iran blasts, the bloodiest since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. US intelligence sources said ISIS-K had carried out both the January 3 attacks in Iran and the March 22 shootings in Moscow.Islamic State once occupied large swaths of Iraq and Syria, imposing a reign of terror and inspiring lone wolf attacks in Western countries, but was declared territorially defeated in 2017.However, ISIS-K, one of its most fearsome branches, has raised the group’s profile again with large-scale bloodshed.ISIS-K, named after an old term for a region that encompassed parts of Iran, Turkmenistan, and Afghanistan, emerged in eastern Afghanistan in late 2014 and quickly established a reputation for extreme brutality.‘Significant operation’A second source, who also requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue, said the information Tehran provided to Moscow about an impending attack had lacked specific details regarding timing and the exact target.“They (the members of ISIS-K) were instructed to prepare for a significant operation in Russia… One of the terrorists (arrested in Iran) said some members of the group had already traveled to Russia,” the second source said.A third source, a senior security official, said: “As Iran has been a victim of terror attacks for years, Iranian authorities fulfilled their obligation to alert Moscow based on information acquired from those arrested terrorists.”Asked about the Reuters report, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday: “I do not know anything about this.”Iran’s foreign ministry did not reply to a request for comment on this story. The White House had no comment on the matter.A source familiar with the US intelligence on an impending attack in Russia said it was based on interceptions of “chatter” among ISIS-K militants.Challenging the US assertions, Russia has said it believes Ukraine was linked to the attack, without providing evidence. Kyiv has strongly denied the assertion.Tajik nationals-The attacks in Kerman and near Moscow both involved Tajik nationals. ISIS-K has aggressively recruited from the impoverished former Soviet republic of Tajikistan, security experts say.Sources said Iran had discussed its security concerns with Tajikistan. A diplomatic source in Tajikistan confirmed that Tehran had recently discussed with Dushanbe the issue of increased involvement of ethnic Tajiks in militant activities.Islamic State harbors a virulent hatred for Shi’ites — Iran’s dominant sect and also the target of its affiliate’s attacks in Afghanistan. The hardline Sunni Muslim group views Shi’ites as apostates.In 2022 the Islamic State claimed responsibility for a deadly attack on a Shi’ite shrine in Iran that killed 13 people. Tehran identified the attacker as a Tajik national.Earlier attacks claimed by Islamic State include twin bombings in 2017 that targeted Iran’s parliament and the tomb of the Islamic Republic’s founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

IDF ends Shifa Hospital raid, says it killed 200 terror operatives, arrested 500 more-Palestinians report widespread destruction in wake of two-week operation; IDF soldier killed Sunday is 600th military fatality since October 7 Hamas onslaught-By Emanuel Fabian-and Agencies Today, 3:07 pm-APR 1,24

The Israel Defense Forces withdrew early Monday from the Gaza City complex housing the Shifa Hospital, after a two-week raid in which the military said it detained or killed hundreds of terror suspects.During the raid, which began March 18, the IDF said troops captured some 900 suspects, of whom more than 500 were confirmed to be terror operatives, and killed more than 200 gunmen. Among those killed and detained were top commanders in Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Valuable intelligence was also seized, the IDF said.The military confirmed that its forces had left the hospital after earlier describing the Shifa raid as one of the most successful operations of the nearly six-month war.The military also said Monday that it had lost its 600th soldier since the war began on October 7. Staff Sergeant Nadav Cohen, 20, from Haifa, was killed fighting in southern Gaza as part of the 7th Armored Brigade’s 77th Battalion. He was the 256th soldier to fall during the military’s ground offensive in Gaza. Most of the other soldiers were killed repelling Hamas’s assault, and 10 have been killed in clashes with Hezbollah on the northern border.Eyewitnesses said dozens of airstrikes and shells had hit the area around the medical complex overnight Monday, with Hamas saying the Israeli strikes had provided cover for the withdrawing tanks, armored vehicles, and troops.Despite overwhelming evidence, Hamas has denied operating from Shifa and other health facilities.Following the IDF withdrawal, scenes of widespread devastation were revealed at the hospital, where many of the gunmen trapped had refused to surrender and engaged in fierce battles with Israeli troops.“Dozens of bodies, some of them decomposed, have been recovered from in and around the Shifa medical complex,” the Hamas-run health ministry said in a statement.The Israeli military “withdrew from the Shifa medical complex after burning down the complex buildings and putting it completely out of service,” the ministry run by the terror group said, adding that “the scale of the destruction inside the complex and the buildings around it is very large.”An AFP journalist on the scene said several buildings inside the complex had been damaged, with some areas showing damage from fire. A doctor told AFP more than 20 bodies had been recovered and that some had been crushed by withdrawing vehicles.Video footage circulating online showed heavily damaged and charred buildings, mounds of dirt that had been churned up by bulldozers and patients on stretchers in darkened corridors.Local resident Yahia Abu Auf said there were still patients, medical workers and displaced people sheltering inside the medical compound though several patients had been taken to the nearby Ahli Hospital. He said army bulldozers had plowed over a makeshift cemetery in Shifa’s courtyard.With hundreds of thousands of Gazans displaced by the war, hundreds had sought refuge at the Shifa complex prior to the operation. Israeli troops first raided Shifa in November but Hamas operatives had since returned.The army on Sunday released footage it said showed a cache of weapons seized by the Nahal Brigade’s reconnaissance unit in Shifa Hospital’s maternity ward.“No hospital in the world looks like this. This is what a house of terrorists looks like,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at a Sunday news conference.The weapons, including mortars, explosive devices, sniper rifles, assault rifles, handguns, and other military equipment, were found hidden inside patient pillows and beds, and in the drop ceilings and walls of the building, according to the IDF.Some 350 patients and medical staff at Shifa Hospital were evacuated by the IDF to a “designated compound” in another part of the complex, where the military provided them with humanitarian aid and supplies.An additional 6,200 civilians sheltering at the medical center were evacuated from the premises, the IDF said.As the IDF withdrew from Shifa, fighting continued in other parts of Gaza.In central Gaza, the IDF said an attack helicopter carried out a strike two buildings used by Hamas, one of which was booby-trapped and had been used to observe Israeli troops.In other airstrikes in Gaza, the IDF said it killed terror operatives who were an “immediate threat” to ground troops, including a sniper. In southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, the IDF said  troops of the Commando Brigade and Givati Brigade were continuing to battle Hamas in the al-Amal neighborhood. Amid the operation in al-Amal, troops killed numerous gunmen in close-quarters combat, detained terror suspects, and located weapons over the past day, the IDF said.In another area of Khan Younis, the IDF said the 7th Armored Brigade and Israeli Air Force struck several Hamas targets, including a truck driving toward the troops and another car with operatives inside, which were perceived as threats.As fighting continued, the US continued with efforts to stop a promised Israeli incursion into the southern Gaza city of Rafah, where more than 1.5 million displaced Palestinians are sheltering.Israel launched its offensive after Hamas terrorists swept into Israel on October 7, killing some 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and taking 253 hostages.Hamas says at least 32,845 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, a figure that cannot be independently verified and includes at least 13,000 Hamas terrorists Israel says it has killed in battle. Israel also says it killed some 1,000 gunmen inside Israel on October 7.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
