April 6 (UPI) — Israel said Monday that it assassinated Maj. Gen. Majid Khademi, head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps‘ Intelligence Organization, as it eliminates senior leaders of the powerful force that helps sustain Iran’s ruling regime.
The announcement from the Israel Defense Forces came hours after it announced the completion of another wave of airstrikes targeting infrastructure in Iran.
Few specifics of the assault that killed Khademi were made public, but the IDF said in a statement that the Israeli Air Force was acting on “precise intelligence guidance from the Military Intelligence Directorate.”
“His killing joins that of dozens of commanders from the Iranian terror regime who have been eliminated during the operation, and constitutes another severe blow to the IRGC’s command-and-control systems and its ability to direct terrorist activity against the State of Israel and countries around the world,” the IDF said.

Israel has claimed to have killed several senior IRGC leaders since the U.S.-Israel war with Iran began on Feb. 28, when American warplanes killed Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iranian state-run media have reported Khademi’s death, according to Iran International. The report states funeral and burial arrangements would be announced later.
Among the senior IRGC leaders assassinated by Israel in the war are IRGC Navy commander Alireza Tangsiri, Basij paramilitary force head Gholamreza Soleimani and IRGC Commander-in-Chief Mohammad Pakpour.
The IRGC is an elite and powerful military force founded after Iran’s 1979 revolution to defend its clerical system and the Islamic Republic.
