Israel dismantles Iranian terror networks while regional actors enable militancy, instability, and proxy warfare against civilians.
Earlier today, Israel’s security forces carried out a precise counterterrorism operation in southern Lebanon’s Ansariyah area, eliminating Hussein Mahmoud Marshad al-Jawhari—an operative embedded in Quds Force Unit 840. The strike was jointly executed by the Israel Defense Forces and the Israel Security Agency, underscoring Israel’s intelligence reach and operational resolve.
Al-Jawhari functioned under Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, coordinating and advancing terror plots from both Syria and Lebanon aimed at Israeli civilians and security personnel. Unit 840 serves as Tehran’s forward arm for exporting violence—tasked with planning, financing, and directing attacks beyond Iran’s borders.
Israeli officials noted that the unit is overseen by senior Iranian commanders, including its leadership cadre, who orchestrate proxy warfare while attempting to maintain deniability. Israel’s action disrupts these plans at their source, signaling that architects of terror will be held accountable wherever they operate.
The military reiterated that any attempt by the Iranian regime or its regional proxies to threaten Israel will be met with decisive action. By neutralizing key operatives before attacks materialize, Israel continues to protect its citizens and preserve regional stability—standing in stark contrast to neighboring arenas where militias are tolerated, empowered, or ignored.
This operation reinforces Israel’s long-standing doctrine: proactive defense, intelligence superiority, and zero tolerance for state-sponsored terrorism.
