Israel kills IRGC commander tasked with funding, arming Hamas's October 7 attacks in Iran
Jerusalem Post ^ | JUNE 21, 2025 | JERUSALEM POST STAFF

Mohammad Saeed Izadi, the commander of the Palestine Corps within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force and the key coordinator between Iran and Hamas, was killed on Saturday, both the military and Defense Minister Israel Katz announced.

Izadi, according to reports, helped finance and arm Hamas in the lead-up to the October 7 massacre. He was reportedly behind the "plan to destroy Israel" by coordinating assaults on Israel from multiple fronts.

Izadi was killed in an apartment in the city of Qom, south of Tehran, by an attack by Israel Air Force fighter jets following an intelligence-gathering effort, the military said.

According to the IDF, Izadi had a two-stage plan for destroying Israel: first, through missile and rocket attacks by Iran and its proxies, followed by a large-scale infiltration into Israeli territory by tens of thousands of terrorists from Lebanon, Gaza, Syria, and the West Bank.

Katz said, "He funded and armed Hamas ahead of the October 7 massacre. This is 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."

IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said that Izadi's death is one of the key points in the war, adding that he "has the blood of thousands of Israelis on his hands. "He was the leader of the Iran-Hamas axis and the confidant of [Hamas leaders Yahya] Sinwar and [Mohammed] Dief. This is a major intelligence and operational achievement by the Intelligence Branch and the Air Force. His death makes the entire Middle East safer."

Who was Izadi, and how did he help Hamas?

Izadi's primary role was liaising with Palestinian terrorist organizations, specifically Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), to attack Israel. Izadi led efforts to smuggle weapons, provide funding, and train terror groups in Gaza and the West Bank, the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center said.

He also assisted in strengthening coordination between Palestinian terror groups and Hezbollah, as well as the former Assad regime in Syria.

Hopefully one of the low level nuclear specialist will try to assemble his own nuclear weapon and be offed in a nuclear fireball from a work accident.

The only negative thing about this is that this monster died too quickly. Otherwise, another joker b well done by Mossad and the IAF!

Prayers up for Israel as I must say the people of this nation have shown more courage and fortitude every day this war proceeds to a conclusion. God please bless them as they remain your “chosen”.

Those Iranian nuclear scientists are smart.

Have a lot of brains.

But you know what has more brains?

The wall behind them.

That’s a start, but there are upwards of 20 million that are fiercely loyal to the IRGC and the Basij.
