Iran and Palestine suffered a setback after Israel eliminated Saeed Izadi, the commander of the Palestine Corps.
Izadi was killed in an apartment in Qom on June 21, a city south of Tehran, during an airstrike carried out by Israeli fighter jets, as the military stated the operation followed an intelligence-gathering mission.
“Izadi was also the commander of the Palestine Corps of the Quds Force, a key coordinator between the Iranian regime and Hamas, and one of the main orchestrators of the October 7 massacre,” the Israel Defence Forces said.
The reported assassination comes as tensions between Israel and Iran intensify, following a series of retaliatory strikes over the past week.
Saeed Izadi Eliminated by Israel
According to the Israel Defence Forces, Izadi was responsible for increasing the financial funding from Iran to Hamas for terrorist activities against Israel.
During the war, he was also responsible for directing Hamas forces operating from Lebanon.
“Since then, he has been committed to rebuilding Hamas’ military wing and ensuring that Hamas remains the controlling authority in Gaza,” the Israel Defence Forces added.
According to a statement IDF, Saeed Izadi had been orchestrating a multi-front assault on Israel.
The plan reportedly involved coordinated missile strikes followed by a second phase—an invasion by thousands of militants from Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, and the West Bank.
The United States and Britain had imposed sanctions on Izadi, citing his alleged connections to Hamas and the Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad, both of which were involved in the October 7 attacks.

Who is Saeed Izadi?
Izadi was accused of facilitating coordination between Palestinian militant groups, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the regime of former Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad, in efforts to establish a “resistance axis” modelled on the vision of slain IRGC commander Qassem Soleimani.
He also played a role in linking senior IRGC figures and officials from the Islamic Republic with top Hamas leaders.
The Islamic Republic viewed him as a knowledgeable figure on Palestinian affairs.
