Basij Commander Visits Syrian Town
TEHRAN (Dispatches) -- The commander of a key Iranian military force recently visited the border between Palestine and Syria.
General Muhammad Reza Naqdi, commander of the Basij Resistance Force, toured the abandoned Syrian town of Quneitra on the Golan Heights, the Iranian Fars news agency reported.
The report did not say when the visit happened.
Quneitra is a Syrian town that lies along the border between Palestine and Syria, and which was abandoned after the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
Iran is committed to helping Syrian President Bashar Assad thwart a foreign-backed invasion of the country by Takfiri and other terrorist groups.
In January 2015, another Iranian general Muhammad Ali Allahdadi was martyred in an airstrike by the occupying regime of Israel near Quneitra along with several other Iranians and six Hezbollah fighters.
The Basij is a volunteer paramilitary organization under the control of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corp. An auxiliary force, it is tasked with internal security operations and has branches across Iran.
