Israeli Defense Minister: Military killed the head of Palestine Corps in IRGC’s overseas arm

Israel Katz, Israel's Minister of Defense, said that the Israeli military killed a veteran commander from the Iranian Revolutionary Guards overseas arm in an attack on a Qom apartment.

Katz released a statement about the veteran commander Saeed Izadi who led the Palestine Corps Quds Force.

The IRGC has not confirmed this.

The Quds force built up an alliance of Arab allies, known as Axis of Resistance. In 1982 it established Hezbollah and supported the militant Islamist Palestinian group Hamas.

Hezbollah and the Palestinian group Hamas have both been weakened by Israeli offensives following Hamas attacks against Israel on October 7, 2023.

Katz claimed that Izadi had financed and armed Hamas in the first attacks. He described the commander's death as "a major achievement for Israeli Intelligence and the Air Force".

Izadi has been sanctioned by both the U.S.A. and Britain for what they claim are his links to Hamas, and the Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad which was also involved in the attacks of October 7.
