Israel claims killing of Quds Palestinian Corps commander in Qom strike
World Desk
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has announced that Saeed Izadi, the commander of the Palestinian Corps in Iran’s Quds Force, was assassinated in an Israeli attack on an apartment in the Iranian city of Qom.
Earlier reports stated that an Israeli airstrike targeted an apartment in Qom, located about 140km (87 miles) south of Tehran, resulting in the death of a 16-year-old. It remains unclear whether the teenager and Izadi were killed in the same incident.
Katz, confirming Izadi’s death, 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.
