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. After fighting in Operation Tariq al-Qods, he moved to Ground Forces of the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution's 41st Sarallah Division of Kerman, under Qasem Soleimani. During the war, he was promoted several times.[1]
Balochistan conflict
He was involved in Balochistan conflict.[1]
Syrian civil war
In circa 2012, he was asked by his previous commander 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, Revolutionary Guards 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 guerrillas". Officially, Israel has not commented on the attack.[7]
Legacy
2015 Southern Syria offensive was code-named "Allahdadi for Quneitra Martyrs".[8]
