As the Israeli-Iranian confrontations entered their ninth day, Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz announced the assassination of Saeed Izadi, commander of the Palestine Corps of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Quds Force.
Katz said in a statement on Saturday that Israeli forces had eliminated Izadi, "who in recent years, including in the months leading up to the campaign against Iran, led a plan to destroy Israel through a ground raid from several locations simultaneously," he said.
He also noted that Izadi is "the top commander in the Revolutionary Guards who was in contact with Hamas in Gaza and the Islamic Jihad movement, funding and arming them in preparation for October 7."
He also explained that the assassination took place in an apartment in the city of Qom.
This comes after the Israeli military announced earlier today that it had "killed yesterday Amin Por Jodakhi, commander of the Revolutionary Guards' second drone unit." The military added that the commander was responsible for coordinating hundreds of drone launches toward Israel from the Ahvaz region in southwestern Iran.
