Iranian General Involved in Hamas's Oct. 7 Attack Killed in Israeli Airstrike

The slain general, a key figure in the IRGC, played a strategic role in planning and executing the deadly attack on Israel.

Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior Iranian general, was killed in an Israeli airstrike early April, linked to his role in Hamas's Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
Iran’s Coalition Council of Islamic Revolution Forces acknowledged Zahedi's involvement, marking a clear admission of Iran’s role in the atrocities.
The Oct. 7 attack, dubbed 'Operation Al-Aqsa Storm,' resulted in the deaths of 1,200 Israelis and over 250 hostages.
In retaliation, Iran launched a significant missile and drone attack on Israel, which was largely intercepted by Israeli defenses.
Iran's Supreme Leader previously denied any involvement in the October 7 attack, contradicting recent admissions by Iranian officials.
