Israel says navy strike in Beirut killed senior Quds Force member
Israel’s military said a navy strike in Beirut on Monday killed Reza Khazaei, a senior member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force who worked closely with Hezbollah.
The military said Khazaei headed the Quds Force’s efforts to assist Hezbollah in rebuilding its capabilities and served as chief of staff of the force’s Lebanon Corps.
It said he was responsible for liaising between Hezbollah and Iran, including overseeing the transfer of weapons and equipment and supporting Hezbollah’s weapons production programs in Lebanon.
