(Jerusalem Post) Peled Arbeli - Brig.-Gen. Abbas Nilforoushan, deputy commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), was eliminated on Sep. 27 along with Hizbullah chief Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut. Nilforoushan was the commander of the IRGC's Quds Force in Lebanon. Benny Sabti, an Iran researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), told Maariv on Tuesday: "This man was the head of operations in the Revolutionary Guards, and many missions, supplies, and budgets passed through his hands." "He was one of the extremists....He essentially had a hand in everything that happened in the Revolutionary Guards....It's always said in the media, 'eliminate one and another will come' - it's not like that at all. It will take a lot of time until they find someone to fill his shoes."
