An Israeli airstrike in Iran killed Saeed Izadi, the head of the Palestine Corps in the IRGC Quds Force, who funded and armed Hamas ahead of the terror group’s October 7 onslaught as part of a multi-front plan to destroy Israel, the Israel Defense Forces said Saturday.
Izadi was “one of the architects” of Hamas’s October 7, 2023, onslaught, “and among the few who knew of it prior to its execution,” the IDF said.
The military said he was killed overnight in a safe house in the Iranian city of Qom “following a prolonged intelligence effort.”
Izadi, as commander of the Palestine Corps in Quds Force — the extraterritorial arm of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — was responsible for military coordination between senior leaders in the IRGC and the Iranian regime and key figures in Hamas, especially ahead of October 7 and during the war, the IDF said.
