Daoud Alizadeh, the acting commander of the Lebanon Corps in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Tehran earlier today, the IDF announces, APA reports citing Times of Israel.
Alizadeh had taken responsibility for the IRGC Quds Force’s Lebanon Corps from Mohammad Reza Zahedi, who was killed in an Israeli strike on Damascus in April 2024, making him “the highest-ranking Iranian commander responsible for Lebanon,” according to the military.
The IDF says the Lebanon Corps “connects the Hezbollah terror organization and the Iranian terror regime, supports Hezbollah force buildup, and functions as the connection between senior IRGC personnel and Hezbollah leadership.”
Alizadeh recently “pushed Hezbollah to advance terror activity against the State of Israel,” the IDF adds.
