Again, Israel Kills Iran’s IRGC Commander Izadi 24 Hours After Appointment Of New Intelligence Chief

In a significant escalation, Israel has assassinated Saeed Izadi, commander of the Palestinian Division in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force, in a targeted overnight airstrike on an apartment in Qom.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed the operation, stating that Izadi played a key role in funding and arming Hamas ahead of the October 7 massacre.

“A major achievement for Israeli intelligence and the Air Force. Justice for the murdered and the hostages. Israel’s long arm will reach all its enemies,” Katz declared.

The strike comes just about 24 hours after Iran appointed Majid Khademi as the new intelligence chief of the IRGC, replacing Mohammad Kazemi, who was killed in an Israeli attack earlier this week.

Kazemi himself had succeeded another intelligence chief eliminated by Israel, highlighting the rapid turnover in Iran’s security leadership amid ongoing covert warfare.

The IRGC’s intelligence wing has faced repeated decapitation strikes, with Khademi becoming the third appointee in a short span following Israel’s assassinations of his predecessors.

Katz previously revealed a 2021 intelligence document showing Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar and Muhammad Deif requesting $500 million from I

RGC Quds Force chief Esmail Qaani to fund their war against Israel.

According to Katz, Izadi approved the request, affirming Iran’s commitment to bankroll Hamas “despite economic hardships” faced by ordinary Iranians.

The latest strike underscores Israel’s intensified campaign against Iranian operatives, signaling that no senior figure linked to Hamas’ October 7 attack is beyond reach.
