Fourth Night of Aggression: Israel Bombards Command Networks of Al-Quds Brigades
Hamas stronghold targeted: Israel bombs key control centers belonging to Al-Quds Brigades
Take a seat and buckle up, folks, because we're diving headfirst into a whirlwind of geopolitical drama that's heating up between Israel and Iran. Israel's onslaught against strategic Iranian targets has been relentless for four nights straight now, and Iran's been responding with retaliatory strikes, as per Israeli reports.
The pinpoint precision of Israel's attacks this time around includes the decimation of command centers of the Al-Quds Brigades, according to the Israeli army. In the heart of Iran's capital, Tehran, these command centers were allegedly planning covert assaults against the State of Israel with the aid of their Middle Eastern proxy forces. Iran's yet to confirm this claim.
The Al-Quds Brigades are the covert ops division of Iran's elite force, answerable only to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. They manifest militarily in groups such as the Palestinian organization Islamic Jihad, which is funded by Iran and shares the Al-Quds Brigades moniker. Curious fact: Al-Quds is Arabic for Jerusalem, considered the third-holiest city in Islam, after Mecca and Medina.
To shedd light on the current state of affairs, as of June 17, 2025, the Israel-Iran confrontation has seen a massive escalation, with Israeli strikes intensifying against Iranian military and nuclear installations. Reports indicate that Israel has struck key figures such as former SPND Research and Technology Department head Mansour Asgari, as well as other military commanders and nuclear scientists associated with alleged weapons development groups[1].
It's also worth noting that, just a day or two prior, Israel targeted the headquarters of Iran's state television in Tehran, disruping live broadcasts and causing quite a stir[2]. However, there appears to be a lack of comprehensive, recent, open-source reporting suggesting significant attacks on Al-Quds Brigades command centers. The focus has primarily been on nuclear and military research infrastructure rather than Al-Quds Brigades’ expeditionary forces.
