IDF says it killed top commander in Iran’s Quds Force in Lebanon strike

The IDF and the Shin Bet announce the killing of a top commander in the Operations Unit of Iran’s Quds Force in a strike in northeast Lebanon this morning.

The Quds Force is the extraterritorial arm of the Revolutionary Guards.

Lebanon’s state news agency had said two people were killed in the Israeli drone strike that targeted a vehicle on a road leading to the Syrian border.

The Israeli statement says target Hussein Mahmoud Marshad al-Jawhari was involved in recent years “in advancing terrorist plots against Israel in the Syria–Lebanon arena.”

It notes that the Operations Unit, also known as Unit 840, “is the unit that directs and is responsible for Iranian terrorist activity against the State of Israel.”

The military issues drone footage of the strike.
