Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Monday that Israeli forces have eliminated a senior commander in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) intelligence branch.
Netanyahu did not provide further details on the operation, including the location or timing of the strike, nor did he name the Iranian official.
The statement comes amid heightened regional tensions following a series of tit-for-tat attacks between Israel and Iran, including drone and missile strikes that have targeted military and strategic infrastructure in both countries.
Iran has not yet responded publicly to Netanyahu’s claim.
The IRGC’s intelligence wing plays a central role in Tehran’s regional operations, including support for allied militias in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. The killing of a high-ranking intelligence figure, if confirmed, would mark a significant escalation in Israel’s shadow war with Iran.
More information is expected as both sides assess the fallout of the latest development.
