Israel claims strikes on IRGC operatives behind alleged attacks plot

Israel’s military has said it targeted senior figures linked to the intelligence unit of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) over alleged plots to harm Israeli citizens at home and abroad, Iran International reports.

According to the statement, the strikes were carried out in coordination with Israel’s domestic and foreign intelligence agencies and hit key operatives, including Majid Khademi, identified as the head of the unit, and Mohsen Souri, described as overseeing operations.

The military added that in recent weeks an alleged Iran-directed plan involving allied militias in Iraq had been underway, which reportedly included the use of foreign operatives and direct financing.

Israel said it continues to monitor related infrastructure and would take action against it if necessary.
