Israel says assassinated Iran’s Quds Force commander

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has said Saeed Izadi, the commander of the Palestinian Corps in Iran’s Quds Force, has been assassinated in an attack on an apartment in the Iranian city of Qom.

Earlier, an Israeli aircraft bombed an apartment in the city, 140km (87 miles) south of Tehran, killing a 16-year-old. It’s not immediately clear if both individuals were killed in the same attack.

Announcing Izadi’s death, Katz said he had “funded and armed Hamas ahead of the October 7 massacre”.

“[Izadi’s assassination is] a huge achievement for Israeli intelligence and air force, justice for the murdered and kidnapped. Israel’s long arm will reach all its enemies,” he said.
