Iranian state television said several Iranian diplomats had been killed. Iran's Tasnim news agency said five people were killed in the Israeli strike.

🇮🇷 🇸🇾 🇮🇱 #BREAKING Three #IRGC Generals Killed in #Damascus Air Strike: #Iran state media have confirmed that the following IRGC officials were killed in the suspected #Israeli airstrike that targeted a diplomatic annex next to the Iranian Embassy in Damascus…
SITREP: Damascus Airstrike
IRGC commander Mohammad Reza Zahedi, one of the most senior leaders in the Quds Force, was killed today during an Israeli airstrike in #Damascus, #Syria, that targeted a consular annex directly next to the Iranian embassy, along with two other generals and other unidentified casualties.
Zahedi’s death comes as one of the most significant assassinations against the IRGC since the killing of Qassam Soleimani in 2020 by the #UnitedStates and marks a major escalation in tensions between #Israel and #Iran.
Iran has vowed a “harsh” response against Israel, which remains to be seen.
Two likely response measures are expected, however, such as Iranian missile strikes against Iraqi #Kurdistan or increased attacks against #American forces in the region by Iran-backed militia forces.
Iran has previously launched missiles against what it claims are “Israeli spy centers” in #Erbil in response to Israeli airstrikes targeting IRGC leadership. Kurdish officials have denied that Israeli intelligence operates in the city.
Likewise, Iran-backed militia forces have historically increased attacks against American forces in the region in response to Israeli military activity in Syria. Via theatlasnews.co

Iranian Ambassador Hossein Akbari condemned Israel and said as many as seven people were killed, but first responders were still searching for any other bodies under the rubble. He said two police officers who guard the building were wounded.
Akbari vowed revenge for the strike “at the same magnitude and harshness.”
In comments to the media after meeting Akbari, Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad said “several” people were killed. Mekdad in a phone call with his Iranian counterpart, Hossein Amirabdollahian, condemned Israel over the attack.
Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes on targets in government-controlled parts of Syria in recent years.

🇮🇱 #Israel Passes “Al Jazeera Law” Amid Protests and International Concern: https://theatlasnews.co/brief/2024/04/01/israel-passes-al-jazeera-law-amid-protests-and-international-concern/
The Israeli Knesset has enacted a law facilitating the temporary closure of foreign news networks perceived as security threats, passing with a 71 to 10 vote.
This legislation, nicknamed “Al Jazeera law” and specifically impacting the eponymous media, grants the Prime Minister and the Communications Minister authority to shut down outlets deemed detrimental to national security. It includes equipment confiscation, for 45-day intervals, subject to renewal. This law, temporary until July 31 or an earlier lift of the emergency situation declaration, mandates judicial review of any closure order by the district court president within 24 hours.
Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi labeled Al Jazeera a “Hamas mouthpiece,” announcing its imminent closure actions. This move has sparked significant concern from both the White House and the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), citing potential risks to press freedom and fostering a climate of self-censorship.
The Knesset voted amid rising dissatisfaction with the government’s handling of the security situation following October 7 Hamas’s attack. Yesterday, Sunday 31, marked the second consecutive day of protest in Israel, with thousand of demonstrators, including families of hostages held by Hamas, rallying outside the Knesset, demanding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s resignation and early elections. Clashes with police were reported. Via theatlasnews.co
