Israeli Strikes Target Iranian Revolutionary Guards Commanders
Israel’s military announced the killing of two Revolutionary Guards commanders, Saeed Izadi and Benham Shariyari, in airstrikes in Iran. The commanders, involved in arms transfers to Middle Eastern proxies, were targeted in separate attacks. This development marks a significant achievement for Israeli intelligence and the Air Force.
In a significant move, Israel's Defense Minister, Israel Katz, announced on Saturday that the country's military targeted senior personnel within the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force. According to Katz, a veteran commander was killed in an airstrike on an apartment situated in Iran's Qom province.
The Israeli Defense Forces later confirmed a second high-profile target, Benham Shariyari, was eliminated in a separate operation targeting his vehicle in western Tehran. Shariyari was a key figure in orchestrating arms transfers, allegedly providing missiles and rockets to groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and Yemen's Houthis.
This aggressive step is seen as a major victory for Israeli intelligence, further destabilizing what has been described as the Iran-aligned Axis of Resistance. While there was no formal confirmation from the IRGC, the operations align with Israel's continued efforts to dismantle the infrastructure supporting hostile activities in the region.
