Another senior security official in Iran has been killed, according to both Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz.
Maj. Gen. Majid Khademi, head of Intelligence for the IRGC, was assassinated early Monday, according to a statement from the Guards.
The IRGC described him as a “highly esteemed commander” who had devoted “nearly half a century of loyal and courageous service to the Revolution.”
Israel has targeted dozens of senior officials in the IRGC, the Iranian military and the Basij paramilitary group since the conflict began at the end of February.
Katz said the Israeli military killed Khadami, who he said was one of those “directly responsible” for the deaths of Israeli civilians “and one of the three most senior figures” in the IRGC.
“Iran’s leaders are living with a sense of persecution. We will continue to hunt them down one by one,” Katz said.
He added that Israeli strikes had severely damaged Iran’s steel infrastructure and the petrochemical industry – “and today, and every day, there will be more to come.”
