Thousands of people chanted against Israel and the United States at Friday’s funeral for seven Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps members killed in a strike in Syria, which Iran blamed on Israel.
The Guards, including two generals, were killed in the air strike on Monday which levelled the Iranian embassy’s consular annex in Damascus.
Israel has not commented on the strike, but analysts saw it as an escalation of its campaign against Iran and its regional proxies that runs the risk of triggering a wider war beyond the Israel-Hamas conflict in the Gaza Strip.
