Qassem Soleimani, the head of the Quds Force, the extraterritorial wing of the Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), threatened Thursday to “wipe out” the State of Israel on the tenth anniversary of the assassination of Hezbollah terror chief Imad Mughniyeh, The Times of Israel reported.

Speaking at a Tehran ceremony, Iran’s supreme spy master said that the revenge for shedding Mughniyeh’s blood would be to “wipe out the Zionist entity.”

Imad Mughniyeh, the former global operations chief of Iranian-backed Lebanese terror group Hezbollah, who died in a bomb blast in Damascus on February 12, 2008, was reportedly assassinated in a joint Mossad-CIA operation. His son Jihad, a Hezbollah commander, was killed in a 2015 airstrike, which was also attributed to Israel, on a military convoy near the border with Israel.
