Commander-in-chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Hossein Salami has issued a statement, offering condolences to IRGC adviser Milad Beidi, who was killed in an Israeli attack in the suburbs of Beirut, Al Jazeera reports.

Beidi’s legacy will “inspire the zealous and revolutionary youth of today and tomorrow”, Salami said in comments carried by Iran’s official IRNA news agency.

His killing, Salami added, will further fuel the “fire of anger and revenge” towards Israel.
