TEHRAN, Apr. 14 (MNA) – The former chief of the Israel regime's Mossad intelligence service says he does not recommend that Tel Aviv responds to Iran's attack against occupied lands.

"I do not recommend that we respond to Iran's attack," the former chief of the Israel regime's Mossad intelligence service, Yosi Cohen said in reaction to IRGC's drones and missiles attack against occupied lands in response to the Israeli terrorist attack on Iran's consulate building in Syria on April 1.

"We should not lose the allies that stood by us against Iran's attack," he added.

The Israeli regime attacked Iran's consulate in the Syrian capital of Damascus on April 1. The Israeli aggression led to the destruction of the entire building and the martyrdom and injury of the entire people inside it.

Seven of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) military advisors were martyred following the Israeli attack on Iran's consulate in Damascus on Monday, IRGC said in a statement.

Reacting to the Israeli aggression, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kan'ani on Monday night said that the Islamic Republic of Iran, while reserving its rights to take countermeasures, decides on the type of reaction and punishment of the aggressor.
