Israel's military said Monday it had killed the commander of the special operations unit of Iran's Quds Force in a strike on Tehran a day earlier.
The Quds Force is the foreign operations arm of Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards.
"Yesterday, the Israeli Air Force... conducted a strike in Tehran and eliminated Asghar Bagheri, Commander of the Quds Force's Special Operations Unit (840) since 2019," a military statement said.
It added that Bagheri had in recent years held a series of senior positions within the Quds Force and "was involved in attacks targeting Israeli and American individuals worldwide".
