Quds Force

The United States, Britain, and 20 other countries issued a joint statement calling on Iran to immediately stop assassination, kidnapping, and arson operations carried out on their soil. The statement says intelligence bodies tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, including the Quds Force, are involved in planning and advancing assassination attempts, kidnappings, and attacks against civilians outside Iran’s borders.

The IDF said it carried out a targeted strike in Beirut a short while ago. Earlier, the military confirmed it had expanded its operations in Lebanon, hitting dozens of Hezbollah targets in the Beqaa Valley and southern Lebanon, including launch sites, a training camp, and other terror infrastructure.

Lebanese reports say a 'foreign ship' intercepted a ballistic missile aimed at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut. The Israeli Air Force says it struck in western Iran, destroying a loaded launcher prepared to fire at Israel; the IDF and Shin Bet say they also killed a 'Quds Force' operative near Beirut.
