"We have struck the command centers of Iran's Quds Force",

Israeli Air Force fighter jets have struck command centers belonging to the Quds Force, a clandestine wing of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said.

"In these command centers, Quds operatives carry out terrorist attacks against the State of Israel using the Iranian Regime's representatives in the Middle East," an IDF spokesman said.

An IDF video showed 10 locations it said were Quds and military targets it struck in Tehran.

The Quds Force is a powerful unit within the IRGC that was formed during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s as its special intelligence unit. It is credited with taking the lead in Iran's relations with armed groups in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and the Gaza Strip, including Hezbollah and Hamas.

IRGC commander Hossein Salami was killed in Israel's first strikes on Iran on Friday. He has since been replaced by General Ahmed Vahidi. (A2 Televizion)
