IDF confirms October 7 mastermind Saeed Izadi 'eliminated'

Izadi was a senior Iranian military figure.

In an X post, IDF said: "ELIMINATED: Saeed Izadi, a founder of the Iranian regime’s plan to destroy Israel, was eliminated in a precise IDF strike in the area of Qom."

IDF said Izadi was also the commander of the Palestine Corps of the Quds Force, a key coordinator between the Iranian regime and Hamas, and one of the main orchestrators of the October 7 massacre.

The Israeli forces said he was responsible for military coordination between the senior commanders of the IRGC and the Iranian regime with key figures in Hamas.  

"As part of his role, Izadi was responsible for increasing the financial funding from Iran to Hamas for terrorist activities against Israel," IDF said.

"During the war, he was also responsible for directing Hamas forces operating from Lebanon. Since then, he has been committed to rebuilding Hamas' military wing and ensuring that Hamas remains the controlling authority in Gaza," IDF said.

 Saeed Izadi was eliminated amid the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel.
