Jerusalem:Abu Dharr Mohammadi, the operations commander in the IRGC’s missile unit embedded with Hezbollah in Beirut, has reportedly been eliminated by the Israeli Defence Forces. Mohammadi was considered a key liaison between Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, playing a major role in coordinating military operations and strategic planning.
He was also instrumental in efforts to rebuild and strengthen Hezbollah’s missile program following Operation Northern Arrows.
Besides, Abu Ali Riyan, Hezbollah's 'Radwan Force' southern Lebanon unit commander has also been eliminated in military operation by Israel. Riyan was the central figure responsible for coordinating operations, recruiting operatives, and managing its weapon supply chain.
Further details about the operation and its circumstances have not yet been officially confirmed. Regional security analysts say the development could have significant implications for Hezbollah’s military capabilities and the broader Iran-aligned network operating in the Middle East.
IDF says it struck Iranian ‘Taleghan’ nuclear compoundThe Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it carried out a strike on a facility it identified as the “Taleghan” compound, a site the Israeli military claims was used by Iran in the past to advance nuclear weapons-related capabilities.
In a statement posted on X, the IDF said the compound had been associated with the covert “AMAD” project, a program that Western intelligence agencies have long alleged was aimed at developing nuclear weapons in the early 2000s. According to the Israeli military, the site was used to develop advanced explosives and conduct sensitive experiments connected to nuclear weapons research.
Middle East conflict intensifies; millions displaced in IranDrone strikes and missile attacks continued across parts of the Middle East on Thursday as the ongoing conflict involving Iran showed no signs of easing. The United Nations refugee agency warned that the war has already displaced up to 3.2 million people inside Iran, with most civilians fleeing major cities in search of safety.
According to the UN agency, a large portion of those displaced have left the capital, Tehran, and other urban centers, moving toward northern regions or rural areas where they hope to avoid the heaviest fighting.
Meanwhile, Iranian political leaders have escalated their rhetoric amid concerns over possible foreign military action. On Thursday, Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf warned that any attempt to invade Iranian-controlled islands in the Persian Gulf would trigger a violent response. He said such an action would “make the Persian Gulf run with the blood of invaders.”
Elsewhere in the region, Israel issued a stark warning regarding the situation along its northern border. Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant threatened that Israel could “take Lebanese territory” if attacks by the militant group Hezbollah continue. The warning comes after a series of cross-border exchanges that have raised fears of a wider regional war.
