IDF eliminates Quds force commander Behnam Shahriyari
Israel Defense Forces on Saturday confirmed eliminating Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds force commander Behnam Shahriyari.
He was responsible for all weapons transfers to Iran's proxies, including Hamas and Hezbollah.
"Behnam Shahriyari, commander of the Quds Force’s Weapons Transfer Unit in the IRGC, was eliminated in a precise IDF strike in western Iran," IDF wrote on X.
The armed group further said, " Shahriyari was responsible for all weapons transfers from the Iranian regime to its proxies across the Middle East in order to directly advance the Iranian regime’s plan to destroy Israel."
IDF said Shahriyari also commanded the transfer of hundreds of millions of dollars annually to various terrorist organizations.
"Furthermore, he led the extensive effort to finance and arm these terrorist organizations—an effort that has resulted in the deaths and injuries of many Israeli civilians and soldiers," IDF wrote on X.
He was eliminated more than 1,000 km from Israel while traveling in western Iran.
Speaking further on his elimination, IDF said, " His elimination represents a severe blow to the ability of the terrorist organizations surrounding Israel to regroup and strengthen after being heavily damaged by the IDF during the war."
He has been eliminated amid the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel.
