The two gunmen the IDF eliminated in Syria over the weekend were sent by Iran, Israeli defense officials assess.

The men were killed two nights ago near the village of Khader, about a kilometer from Israel's border. The IDF believes they were trying to reach an Israeli post in the buffer zone or a Golan Heights community under cover of darkness to attack troops or civilians.

Their identities are still unknown, but they came from an area known for Iranian-backed Shiite militia activity, leading to the assessment they were dispatched by Iran or the Quds Force.

Israel Defense Minister Katz:

“The commander of Iran's Quds Force, Qaani, has recently been issuing numerous threats toward Israel. It seems the image of a collaborator suited him much better than this ridiculous barrage of threats. Either way, if Iran attacks Israel, it will be its biggest mistake yet. Here, no Hormuz or firing at the population will help it. Nothing will stop us. Our forces are prepared to finish the job.”

The Israeli Air Force struck several Iranian headquarters over the past day tied to military financing, weapons production, and funding for proxy groups, the IDF says.

Iran, through the Quds Force, moves large sums to regional terror organizations.

According to the IDF, Hezbollah receives about $1 billion annually, rising to around $2 billion in 2025.

Hundreds of millions more go each year to Hamas and other groups in Gaza and Judea and Samaria, the Houthis in Yemen, and militias in Iraq.
