Earlier today (Tuesday), the Israeli Air Force, guided by IDF Intelligence, struck and eliminated the temporary commander of the Lebanon Corps of the Iranian Quds Force, Daoud Ali Zadeh, in Tehran. Ali Zadeh was the temporary replacement of Hassan Mahdavi, the former commander of the Lebanon Corps of the Iranian Quds Force, who was eliminated in an IDF strike.
Ali Zadeh, who was the equivalent of a brigadier general, was the highest-ranking Iranian commander responsible for Lebanon. The Lebanon Corp connects the Hezbollah terrorist organization and the Iranian terror regime, supports Hezbollah force-building, and functions as the connection between senior IRGC personnel and Hezbollah leadership.
