IRGC commander of Hezbollah missile unit killed in Israeli airstrike in Beirut
The IDF announced it killed Abu Dharr Mohammadi, an IRGC officer who commanded Hezbollah's missile unit, in an airstrike in Beirut earlier this week. The IDF described Mohammadi as a "central figure in the military coordination" between Hezbollah and Iran, a "key figure" in Hezbollah's missile force build-up, and an authority on Hezbollah's strategic weapons. He coordinated between Hezbollah and senior Iranian officials. His death likely degrades the IRGC-Hezbollah coordination that produced the first declared joint operation on Day 12-13.
