Inclusive quasi-elastic electron scattering off nuclei is investigated at high momentum transfer ({ital Q}{sup 2}{approx_gt}1 (GeV/{ital c}){sup 2}) and {ital x}{gt}1 adopting a consistent treatment of nucleon-nucleon correlations in initial and final states. It is shown that the inclusive cross section at 1.3{approx_lt}{ital x}{approx_lt}2 is dominated by the absorption of the virtual photon on a pair of correlated nucleons and by their elastic rescattering in the continuum, whereas at {ital x}{approx_gt}2 it is governed by the rescattering of the outgoing off-mass-shell nucleon in the complex optical potential generated by the residual (A-1)-nucleon system in its ground state. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
