Israel strikes command center of Iran’s elite military unit that led Tehran’s support for Hamas

The Israel Defense Forces overnight wiped out the command center of Iran’s Quds Force — the elite military unit that served as the “main conduit” for proxy terror attacks by Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, IDF spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said Monday.

“The Quds Force has been the main conduit for many of the terrorist attacks and assaults against Israel in recent decades,” he said. “Now, the command centers where these attacks were planned have been completely destroyed.”

In total, Israel targeted more than 20 Iranian military and Quds command centers — killing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard’s head of intelligence, his deputy and the deputy head of the Quds Force’s intelligence organization.

“The Quds Force is the central terror arm of the Iranian regime. It is responsible for operating Iran’s proxies around Israel’s borders and for distributing weapons and missiles intended for attack the state of Israel,” Defrin said.
