Of all the major Iranian military leaders that Israel targeted during the war with Iran, one of them hurt upset Hamas and the other terror groups in Gaza the most.
For the past few days, Palestinian jihadist media has been
mourning Saeed Izadi (Hajj Ramadan), describing him as one of the pillars of support for the Palestinian terror movements.
Izadi was the head of the "Palestine Corps," the Quds Force division responsible for operations against Israel from Palestinian territories. He oversaw the transfer of tens of millions of dollars annually to Hamas, trained rocket manufacturing cells in the Gaza Strip, and developed weapons smuggling networks worldwide including via East Africa. He very possibly was involved in the planning of the October 7 pogroms.
Hamas said in its statement that Izadi worked day and night to support the Palestinian cause, and "made tremendous efforts to strengthen the capabilities of our people and their resistance against the Israeli enemy."
The Al-Qassam Brigades also confirmed that Izadi was directly responsible for the Iranian relationship with Palestinian terror leaders. "We mourn this leader, who will be missed by Palestine and its resistance. We recall his prominent role in supporting the Palestinian resistance and working to supply and develop it in every way possible, fulfilling the sincere jihadi duty and the role assigned to the leaders and forces of the nation in supporting and assisting the Palestinian people and their resistance."
Islamic Jihad Movement also mourned him, saying he made significant contributions in providing all means of support and assistance to "resistance movements" in Palestine and the region over many years.
Hezbollah mourned Izadi and lavishly praised him, saying "We knew the martyred Brigadier General Izadi as a waving flag for Palestine and Jerusalem. He lived among us for decades as a fighter, supporter, and developer, during which he devoted all his energies and capabilities to serving the Palestinian resistance. Through his continuous effort and deep faith, he was able to bring about a major renaissance and qualitative progress in the resistance's methods of operation, its capabilities, its manufacturing, and its plans. The martyred general was an example of tireless, relentless action. Through his extensive relationships with various resistance movements and entities in the region, he formed an effective and influential communication network. He frequently held strategic and important meetings to exchange expertise and dedicate it to serving the Palestinian cause and liberating it."
Abu Jamal, spokesman for the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, also described Izadi as a "key supporter of the resistance's capabilities and a key contributor to providing it with sufficient, qualitative support."
Israel
targeted his apartment in Iran, while the electricity still worked in the apartment directly beneath his.
Which is quite a contrast with how Iran targeted entire residential apartment blocks in Israel.
