The military said the Mehrabad airport, which was targeted repeatedly during Operation Roaring Lion, is used by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force and became a central hub for arming and financing the regime’s terrorist proxies in the Middle East.

The Imam Hussein Division is a military force affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force and is tasked with “strengthening the ‘axis of resistance’ and carrying out terrorist attacks against the IDF and Israeli civilians,” the IDF said.
As one of the division’s artillery chief’s responsibilities, Mehem directed and supervised artillery fires against Israel and the IDF and participated in weapons procurement for the Islamic regime. The IDF noted that he also served as Hussein’s chief of staff.
Several other members of the IRGC-Temple Division, including a top aide to the division’s commander, Yahya Hussein, were also killed in the attack.
