The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have eliminated Kamal Malham, the artillery commander of the Hasan al-Ammam division, an entity closely linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that the Israel Defense Forces press service released details regarding the operation. According to the official statement, the strike targeted the division's headquarters responsible for fire control. The operation resulted in the deaths of artillery chief Kamal Malham, the assistant to the division commander Yahya Hassan, and several other high-ranking military officials.
The Israel Defense Forces noted that the Hasan al-Ammam division plays a critical role in strengthening the so-called "axis of resistance." The unit is reportedly responsible for coordinating and executing attacks against Israeli forces and civilian populations. This strike is part of an ongoing intensification of regional tensions involving IRGC-backed groups and Israeli security operations aimed at neutralizing immediate threats to its borders.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is a primary branch of the Iranian Armed Forces, established after the 1979 Revolution to protect the country's political system. It has significant influence both domestically and internationally, often operating through various divisions and proxy groups across the Middle East to extend its strategic reach. The elimination of high-ranking commanders like Malham is viewed by military analysts as a significant blow to the operational capabilities of these specialized units in the region.
