In a major blow to Iran, Israel claims to have successfully taken out Said Izadi, a pivotal military figure leading the Palestine Corps of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's Quds Force. Izadi is alleged to have been the brains behind funding and arming the Islamic Hamas group during the recent chaos in Israel on October 7, 2023.
Defense Minister Katz says the operation marks a significant triumph for Israel's intelligence and air force. According to Katz, the strike targeted Izadi's apartment in Ghom, resulting in the elimination of this formidable adversary. "The long arm of Israel will reach all its enemies," Katz boasts.
Izadi's role as a commander in the IRGC Quds Force, a specialized unit responsible for Iran's extraterritorial military operations and unconventional warfare, placed him at the heart of a web of covert support for terrorist groups overseas [3][5]. His association with Hamas made him instrumental in the October 7 assault, which resulted in considerable casualties and intensified the Israel-Palestine conflict [3][4].
Izadi's links to Hamas extended to coordinating between the Iranian regime and the militant group, ensuring military and financial support for the attacks on Israel [3][4]. His actions earned him the moniker of one of the worst terror mass murderers by Israeli officials [4].
The Israeli Defense Forces struck Izadi down on June 21, 2025, in a precise airstrike in Qom, Iran. Israel highlighted Izadi's strategic importance in Iran's attempts to support Palestinian militant groups against Israel [1][2][3][4].
Residential buildings in Ghom were hit during the state-controlled media's earlier reporting of an Israeli attack on the city, resulting in the death of a 16-year old and injuries to two others [6]. Ghom is approximately 50 kilometers north of the uranium enrichment facility in Fordo, a primary target for Israel in the ongoing conflict.

The community policy may need to address potential repercussions of the Israeli operation, while the employment policy may need to account for increased diplomatic tensions following the elimination of Al-Quds Commander Said Izadi. Meanwhile, politics, general news, and war-and-conflicts sections remain abuzz with updates on the recent developments in the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict after Izadi's role in arming Hamas during war-and-conflicts was revealed.
