Key intermediary between IRGC and Hezbollah neutralized
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have neutralized Mohammadi, a commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) who headed Hezbollah's rocket division, during a targeted operation in Beirut.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, the Israeli military press service released an official statement regarding this strategic operation. Military officials identified Mohammadi as a central figure in military coordination between Hezbollah and the IRGC, serving as a direct liaison between the Lebanese group and high-ranking Iranian officials. The commander played a vital role in enhancing Hezbollah's missile capabilities and was actively involved in restoring the group's operational capacity following the "Northern Arrows" operation.
Furthermore, Mohammadi was considered one of the leading specialists in strategic weaponry for the organization. Israeli military intelligence reports that he directly coordinated strikes against Israeli territory within the framework of the "Northern Arrows" and "Roaring Lion" operations. The Israel Defense Forces emphasized their commitment to continuing decisive actions against Hezbollah to eliminate threats to the safety of their citizens.
Middle East Tensions: Joint US-Israel operations against Iran
This development follows the large-scale military operations launched by the United States and Israel against Iran on February 28. These operations resulted in the deaths of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several other high-ranking officials. Under the leadership of US President Donald Trump, the United States has significantly increased its strategic pressure on Tehran to curb regional instability.
In the wake of these events, Iran has initiated retaliatory strikes against strategic targets not only in Israel but also across Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, Iraq, and Cyprus, where US and allied military bases are located. The elimination of high-ranking commanders like Mohammadi is part of a broader effort to dismantle the command structure of Tehran-backed proxies in the region.
