In honor of the one-year anniversary of the assassination in Baghdad of Iran’s Quds Force commander Gen. Qassem Soleimani and militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, Iran’s Channel 1 TV aired Farsi-Arabic-Hebrew song titled, “The Promise of a Hero.”

The singers, who are dressed in Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps uniforms, pledge revenge for Soleimani and al-Muhandis, “the martyrs of Islam.”

“Let us blow up the den of Satan [...] Victory shall be ours. It is the responsibility of [Esmail] Ghaani,” Soleimani’s successor as commander of the Quds Force.

“We shall not allow the colonialists to stay on our land,” the singers continue, repeatedly chanting: “Death to America! Death to Israel!”

Ticket sales opened this week for the July 1 opening ceremony, featuring leading Israeli and American performers, including pro-Israel advocate Montana Tucker.
Jewish groups and local leaders are expected to gather in support of the Israeli-owned business as police continue searching for the suspect.
The indictment is subject to a hearing, according to the Office of the State Attorney. If the decision is made to proceed, Tzachi Braverman will be tried for fraud, breach of trust and obstruction of justice.
The meeting also included Isareli Defense Minister Israel Katz and Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir.
The amount of warning time ranges from several seconds in border communities to up to one minute in northern Israel and around two minutes elsewhere.
In supplementary opinion, the Advisory Committee on Senior Civil Service Appointments found “no defect” in the integrity of IDF Maj. Gen. Gofman.
