The target of the Israeli airstrike in Tehran a short while ago is Daoud Alizadeh, the commander of the Lebanon Corps in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, according to defense sources.

The IDF said it struck a “senior commander of the Iranian terror regime,” and said further details would be provided.
