The Israeli military claims to have killed Brigadier General Gholamreza Soleimani, the head of Iran’s Basij paramilitary forces.

The 62-year-old was the commander of the country’s most powerful internal security forces for the past six years and a veteran of the Iran-Iraq War, having fought on the front lines.
