Israeli military says it killed missile commander in western Iran

Apr 2, 2026, 18:31 GMT+1

The Israeli military said on Thursday it had killed Mokarram Azimi, a commander of a surface-to-surface missile unit based in western Iran, during a recent operation.

In a statement, the military said Azimi had been responsible for multiple missile launches toward Israel.

It added that three battalion commanders from the same missile command were also killed in the strike, describing them as figures involved in directing projectile launches toward Israeli territory.

“We will continue to pursue all those who fire missiles at Israel—launchers, missiles and personnel,” the statement said.
