April 6 (UPI) -- Israel said Monday that it assassinated Maj. Gen. Majid Khademi, head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Intelligence Organization, as it eliminates senior leaders of the powerful force that helps sustain Iran's ruling regime.
The announcement from the Israel Defense Forces came hours after it announced the completion of another wave of airstrikes targeting infrastructure in Iran.
Few specifics of the assault that killed Khademi were made public, but the IDF said in a statement that the Israeli Air Force was acting on "precise intelligence guidance from the Military Intelligence Directorate."
"His killing joins that of dozens of commanders from the Iranian terror regime who have been eliminated during the operation, and constitutes another severe blow to the IRGC's command-and-control systems and its ability to direct terrorist activity against the State of Israel and countries around the world," the IDF said.
