Escalating Conflict: Israel Targets Senior Iranian Commanders Linked to Hamas
In a significant escalation of hostilities, Israel has reportedly killed several high-ranking officials of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including Saeed Izadi, the commander of the Palestine Corps, who was allegedly involved in orchestrating the October 7 attack by Hamas. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed airstrikes in Iran, which targeted these figures, describing them as key architects behind funding and arming militant operations against Israel. The death of these commanders, including IRGC drone chief Joudaki, marks a notable development in the ongoing conflict, as both Israel and Iran engage in reciprocal military actions. Israeli officials stated that the operations aimed to neutralize threats posed by the IRGC, particularly concerning their support for militant groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.
