ISRAEL (VINnews)-The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran has claimed responsibility for a series of missile strikes on Israel, which they assert are in retaliation for the recent deaths of key terrorist leaders from Hezbollah, Hamas, and the IRGC itself.

The IRGC emphasized that the missile barrage was a direct response to these high-profile terrorist deaths, characterizing the assassinations as part of an Israeli campaign against key figures in the region. Iranian state media has also framed the missile fire as a “decisive blow” meant to avenge the “martyrdom” of their allies.

Hassan Nasrallah, A terrorist who led Hezbollah for decades, was a prominent figure in the Lebanese terrorist group’s long-standing hostility against Israel. Similarly, Ismail Haniyeh, as a senior leader of Hamas, was instrumental in the Palestinian faction’s armed struggle against Israeli control of Gaza. Both men, along with Nilforoushan, were pivotal in coordinating operations that aligned with Tehran’s regional strategy.

Abbas Nilforoushan was reportedly a high-ranking IRGC general responsible for overseeing Iranian operations in Syria and Lebanon, often coordinating with Hezbollah. His death, alongside Nasrallah, has been described by Iranian officials as a major blow to their efforts in the region.

Israel has not commented on the specifics of these killings, though it has long been engaged in covert operations and airstrikes aimed at Iranian and Hezbollah targets across the Middle East. The ongoing escalation threatens to plunge the region into further instability, as Israel remains on high alert for potential retaliatory actions from Tehran and its allies.
