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]
