According to The Iran Project, Brigadier General Ebrahim Jabari made the remarks on Wednesday, amid Western media speculations that the IRGC Quds Force commander might have been wounded, or even martyred, in a massive Israeli strike last week that was reported to have targeted senior Hezbollah official Hashem Safieddine in Beirut's densely populated southern neighborhood of Dahiyeh.
Qaani also sent a message to the 7th International Conference on Solidarity with Palestinian Children and Adolescents this week.
In a message published on Monday, the Quds Force commander extended his salutations to the participants of the event and offered his profound apologies for not being able to take part in the conference due to participation in another special meeting.
