Israel said it killed a senior operative linked to Iran’s Quds Force in southern Lebanon on Thursday.
The Israel Defense Forces confirmed eliminating Hussein Mahmoud Marshad al-Jawhari in the area of Ansariyah, near Tyre.
Al-Jawhari “had been involved in recent years in planning and advancing terror attacks against the State of Israel from Syria and Lebanon,” the IDF said.
“Unit 840, the operational unit of the Quds Force, headed by Asghar Baqeri and his deputy Mohammad Reza Ansari, is the unit responsible for directing and overseeing Iranian terror activity against the State of Israel,” the IDF added.
The Quds Force is an elite, specialized branch of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). It conducts covert intelligence, military, and proxy operations outside Iran.
It is best known for training, funding, and arming Iran’s proxy terror groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, Iraqi Shi’ite militias, and the Houthis in Yemen.
Under the terms of the ceasefire that went into effect on November 27, 2024, Hezbollah is required to withdraw its armed forces from southern Lebanon and is prohibited from operating south of the Litani River.
