The chief of the Revolutionary Guards’ intelligence organisation, Majid Khademi, was confirmed dead on Monday by Iranian state media, according to news agency Reuters.
Khademi headed the Intelligence Protection Organization of the IRGC and the Intelligence Organization of the IRGC.
The Tasnim news agency released a statement announcing the death of the IRGC intelligence chief following an airstrike on Monday morning.
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz also confirmed the killing of Khademi and vowed to “continue to hunt them down one by one”.
“The Revolutionary Guard are shooting at civilians, and we are eliminating the leaders of the terrorists,” Katz said. “Iran’s leaders live with a sense of being targeted. We will continue to hunt them down one by one.”
He added that Israel “severely damaged” Iran’s steel and petrochemical industries as well.
“We will continue to crush the Iranian national infrastructure and lead to the erosion and collapse of the terrorist regime, and its capabilities to promote terror and fire at the state of Israel,” he said.
