An Israeli Navy strike in Beirut yesterday killed a member of the Quds Force, the extraterritorial arm of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the military announces.

The IDF says Muhammad Ali Kourani had been “advancing terror attacks directed by Iranian intelligence officials.”

The strike was carried out by the Navy following intelligence provided by the Shin Bet security agency, the military adds.
