Former head of Israel's military intelligence, Major General Tamir Hayman, admitted that the country's authorities were involved in the assassination of the Iranian commander of Al-Quds (a special military unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, IRGC) Qasem Soleimani. The Jerusalem Post writes about it.
“The assassination of Soleimani is an achievement, since our main enemy, in my opinion, is the Iranians,” said Hayman. He added that in addition to eliminating the high-ranking general, Israel's intelligence also tried in every possible way to stop the flow of weapons and money from Tehran to Syria.
Suleimani died in Iraqi Baghdad on January 3, 2020, in a missile attack from the United States. Together with the general, several officers accompanying him and the deputy commander of the Iraqi Shiite militia, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, were killed. In response, Tehran fired dozens of missiles at American targets in Iraq on the night of January 8. The operation that took place was named “Martyr of Suleimani”.
