Israel's deadly trap: How top Iranian military chiefs were lured and eliminated — including the Army chief
The plan of how the
Israel Air Force
trapped and assassinated the Iranian military's wartime chief of staff, Major General
Ali Shademani
, along with other senior
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
officers on Monday, has been revealed, as per The Jerusalem Post.
How Did Israel Carry Out the Operation?
After Israel launched its attack on Iran, Shademani and dozens of other senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officers had fled from their main headquarters in Tehran to a secret compound in the mountains outside of Tehran, according to the report.
While, they thought hiding in that location was safe, the Israeli Air Force (IAF), were actually waiting for them to move to the 'secret' location and then killed them all at the same time, reported The Jerusalem Post.

Who Was Ali Shademani?
After Rashid's death, Shademani had taken over his position and was made Iran's "War-Time Chief of Staff, the most senior military commander, and the closest figure to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei," according to The Jerusalem Post.
IDF said that Khatam al-Anbiya is "responsible for managing combat operations and approving Iran's firepower plans. In his various roles, he directly influenced Iran's operational plans targeting the State of Israel," quoted The Jerusalem Post.
FAQs
Why did they flee Tehran?
They feared that Tehran's military headquarters had become too dangerous after Israel's earlier attacks, especially following the assassination of Rashid.
Did the officers think they were safe?
They believed the remote mountain compound was secure. That belief tragically cost them their lives when the IAF struck after they had all gathered.

‘US helping a lot': Israel PM Netanyahu says Iranian regime change ‘not a goal' but could be a…
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that the change or fall of the Iranian regime was not a goal but could be a result. "The matter of changing the regime or the fall of this regime is first and foremost a matter for the Iranian people. There is no substitute for this. And that's why I didn't present it as a goal. It could be a result, but it's not a stated or formal goal that we have," Netanyahu told Israeli public broadcaster Kan. Israel has destroyed more than half of Iran's missile launchers: Netanyahu The Israeli PM has posted a video of himself outside Beersheba's Soroka Medical Center, which suffered damage from an Iranian missile attack today. In it, he claims the Israeli military 'accurately hit nuclear targets and missile targets, and they [Iran] hit a hospital, where people can't even get up and run away'. 'That's the whole difference in a democracy that acts according to the law to save itself from these murderers and against these murderers who want to destroy each and every one of us'. Israel has regularly attacked hospitals in its war on Gaza, with officials in the besieged enclave stating that Israel has bombed and burned at least 36 hospitals across the Gaza Strip since the war began in October 2023. On a visit to the Soroka Medical Center in the city of Beer Sheva, which was damaged in Iranian strikes, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the United States is 'already helping a lot' in his country's conflict with Iran. 'They're participating in the protection of the skies over Israel and its cities,' Netanyahu told CNN among a group of reporters. 'I think it's a remarkable cooperation.' The prime minister also said that he is being asked whether Israel is targeting the downfall of the Iranian regime. 'That may be the result,' he said. 'But it's up to the Iranian people to rise for their freedom. Freedom is never cheap.' 'We may create conditions that may help them do it,' Netanyahu said. The US president has pushed back on a Wall Street Journal report claiming he privately approved attack plans for Iran but delayed a final go-ahead in hopes Iran would abandon its nuclear programme. Writing on his Truth Social social media platform, Trump said, 'The Wall Street Journal has No Idea what my thoughts are concerning Iran!' As of yesterday, Trump said he was still unsure about authorising a strike. 'We'll see what happens. I've been asked about it by everybody, but I haven't made a decision,' he told reporters.
