Mohammad-Ali Allahdadi ( Persian: محمدعلی الله‌دادی; c.1963 – January 18, 2015) was an Iranian brigadier general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and a military officer in the Quds Force. [1]

A veteran of Iran–Iraq War, he was killed in January 2015 Mazraat Amal incident. [1]

Military career

Iran–Iraq War

Still a teenager, Allahdadi joined Irregular Warfare Headquarters, an irregular warfare unit under command of Mostafa Chamran, as a guerrilla fighter. After fighting in Operation Tariq al-Qods, he moved to the IRGC Ground Forces' 41st Sarallah Division of Kerman as Lieutenant Colonel, under Qasem Soleimani. During the war, he was promoted to Colonel. [1]

Balochistan conflict

He was also involved in the Balochistan conflict. [1]

Syrian Civil War

In circa 2012, he was asked by previous Major General Qasem Soleimani to serve in Syrian Civil War. [1] Allahdadi had traveled to Syria to "provide consultation" [2] and was an adviser to the Syrian army. [3]

He was killed in January 2015 Mazraat Amal incident, alongside six Hezbollah Fighters. [4] Following his death, the Revolutionary Guard released a statement saying " Zionists should await devastating thunder of the IRGC" [5] and Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a "warning letter" to Israel via United States. [6]

A senior Israeli security source told Reuters " Israeli forces believed they were attacking only low-ranking Hezbollah members". Officially, Israel has not commented on the attack. [7]

Ten days after his death, Hezbollah launched an attack on an Israeli military convoy in the Shebaa Farms area.

Legacy

2015 Southern Syria offensive was code-named "Allahdadi for Quneitra Martyrs". [8]
