Israeli Military Announces Elimination of 2 Iranian Revolutionary Guard Commanders
On Saturday, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced it had eliminated two Iranian Revolutionary Guard commanders, Saeed Izadi and Benham Shahriyari, in separate strikes.
Saeed Izadi, who led Palestine Corps of the overseas arm (Quds Force) was killed during a missile strike on an apartment in Iran’s Qom province.
Izadi’s main focus was keeping Hamas in control of Gaza and the Quds Force was a “key coordinator” between the terror regime and Hamas in the lead up to the Hamas terror attacks against Israeli civilians on October 7.
IDF notes that Izadi was also responsible for increasing the financial funding from Iran to Hamas for terrorist activities against Israel.

Benham Shahriyari, commander of the Quds Force’s Weapons Transfer Unit in the IRGC, was eliminated during a strike on his vehicle in western Iran.
IDF reports, “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.”
“Shahriyari also commanded the transfer of hundreds of millions of dollars annually to various terrorist organizations. Furthermore, he led the extensive effort to finance and arm these terrorist organizations—an effort that has resulted in the deaths and injuries of many Israeli civilians and soldiers.”
“He was eliminated more than 1,000 km from Israel while traveling in western Iran. 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.”
