Two commanders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps were killed in separate strikes Saturday — including the “founder of the Iranian regime’s plan to destroy Israel,” officials in Tel Aviv said.
Saeed Izadi was assasinated when the Jewish state rained missiles down on an apartment in Iran’s Qom province, Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz said.
Izadi led the Palestine Corps of the overseas arm, known as the Quds Force, which was a “key coordinator” between Iran and Hamas — and helped arm the terrorist group ahead of its Oct. 7, 2023 massacre.
His main objective was to keep Hamas in control of Gaza, but he also directed forces who were operating from Lebanon, according to Katz.
“As part of his role, Izadi was responsible for increasing the financial funding from Iran to Hamas for terrorist activities against Israel,” Katz said in an X post.
The IDF also said it had “eliminated” Benham Shahriyari during a strike on his vehicle overnight in western Iran.
Shahriyari was “responsible for all weapons transfers from the Iranian regime to its proxies across the Middle East in order to directly advance the Iranian regime’s plan to destroy Israel,” Katz said.
Shariyari led the Quds Force’s Weapons Transfer Unit and supplied missiles and rockets launched at Israel to Hezbollah, Hamas and Yemen’s Houthis, according to the Israeli military.
“His elimination represents a severe blow to the ability of the terrorist organizations surrounding Israel to regroup and strengthen after being heavily damaged by the IDF during the war,” Katz said.
The IRGC did not confirm the killings of its two commanders.

All you need to know: Israel targets military installations. Iran targets cities.
As the IDF graphic indicates, it is ISLAMIC Revolutionary Guard Corps not ‘Iranian’. IRGC is not concerned with Iranian nationalism, despite what the lying media and their stooges want people to assume.
May they rest in pieces!!
I suspect about now they are wishing they’d never been born.
