IRGC and Quds leaders killed
Earlier, news of the deaths of senior IRGC and Quds Force leaders in the Israeli attack had emerged. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had said that Major General Majid Khademi, head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) Intelligence Organization, and Asghar Bagheri, a senior commander of Unit 840 of the Quds Force, were killed in precise airstrikes.

In a post on social media, Netanyahu praised the operation. He said, “Anyone who tries to kill our citizens and anyone who commits terrorism against Israel is almost certain to die. We are acting with full force and determination. We will reach anyone who seeks to harm us.”
