Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Qods Force (QF)

Alternative names:.

IRGC-QF, QF, Al Quds, Quds Force, Qods Force, Niru-ye Qods, Sepah-e Qods, Pasdaran-e Enghelab-e Islami (Pasdaran), Qods Corps, Jerusalem Corps, Jerusalem Force

Iran, Worldwide

Leadership:

The Qods Force (QF), a special forces unit within the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), reports directly to the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei. The unit is operationally commanded by Major General Qasem Soleimani. QF is active on a global scale and is organized into geographic areas of responsibility.

Membership:

While QF’s size remains officially classified, informed sources claim that QF consists of at least 15,000 operatives.

Funding Sources:

QF’s extraterritorial activities are allegedly financed through a series of foreign-based shell companies that may either be affiliated with QF through Iranian interests or directly owned by QF. Once finances are received into the accounts of such shell companies, QF can access them to support and carry out various in-country operations.

QF was formed during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) as a special forces unit within the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. QF supported Kurdish fighters in their struggle against Saddam Hussein’s Ba’ath regime in Iraq and supported the Northern Alliance in their struggle against the Taliban government of Afghanistan.

Major Attacks:

QF provides arms, funding, and paramilitary training to extremist groups such as the Taliban, Lebanese Hizballah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Shiite militias in Iraq, and Houthi rebels in Yemen.

QF has been implicated in a series of highly-sophisticated transgressions against Western diplomatic and security personnel in the Middle East.

January 2007:  Insurgents allegedly supported by QF infiltrated the Karabala Provincial Headquarters in Iraq, capturing and killing four U.S. soldiers and wounding another three in a grenade attack. The insurgents allegedly infiltrated the headquarters by passing as U.S. military personnel. The insurgents drove GMC suburbans – the type used to transport U.S. diplomatic personnel – carried forged identification, wore U.S. military fatigues, carried American standard-issue small arms, and spoke English. It is believed that an operation of this sophistication could not have been undertaken without the assistance of QF.

October 2011:  QF was implicated in a plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to the U.S., Adel al-Jubeir, as well as bomb Israeli and Saudi diplomatic missions in Washington D.C.

Ideological Roots:

Members of QF are chosen on the basis of their allegiance to the doctrine of the Islamic Revolution and to the Supreme Leader of Iran.

Objectives:

QF’s objectives are to support clandestine and paramilitary operations in the interests of the Iranian regime and those of its allies.

Human intelligence, sabotage, infiltration, bombings, kidnapping, assassination, and training and support.

Palestinian Red Cross Society says heavy artillery and airstrikes hit near Al-Quds Hospital in Gaza

From CNN’s Hassan Eslayeh, Kareem Khadder, Kareem El Damanhoury, and Mihir Melwani

The Al-Quds hospital trembled following heavy “artillery and airstrikes" in the surrounding Tal Al Hawa neighborhood of Gaza City, the Palestinian Red Cross Society said early Tuesday morning local time.

Those sheltering inside the hospital are “experiencing fear and panic,” the Palestinian Red Cross Society said in a post on X , formerly Twitter.

Some 12,000 internally displaced civilians are sheltering at the hospital, group said on Sunday. 

The Israeli military did not have an immediate comment on reports of activity in the area. 

The Al-Quds hospital is located north of Wadi Gaza — the line south of which Israel has urged people in Gaza to flee. 

In central Gaza, journalist Hassan Eslayeh told CNN that artillery fire in the area was consistent all day and night Monday.

He witnessed the injured and dead being brought to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, including 31 bodies at the morgue tent that were being prepared for a morning prayer on the dead.

CNN team hears artillery fire near Israel-Gaza border

From CNN's Mitchell McCluskey

A CNN team in Sderot, Israel, heard heavy artillery fire near the Israel-Gaza border in the very early hours of Tuesday morning local time.

Nic Robertson, CNN international diplomatic editor, said they heard sustained heavy artillery fire from their location about a mile away (more than one kilometer) from the border with Gaza while filming The Source with Kaitlan Collins.

Robertson said the artillery had been steady for the past hour, but recently increased in intensity.

"Save them," Palestinian Authority's foreign minister pleas for UN Security Council to help Gazans

From CNN’s Artemis Moshtaghian

Speaking before the UN Security Council Monday, the Palestinian Authority's foreign minister shared the grim reality Palestinians in Gaza are grappling with in the wake of Israel’s ground operation. 

“2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza face death every day and every night,” Palestinian Authority's Minister of Foreign Affairs Riyad Al-Maliki said. “Save them. Look at them as human beings. You cannot look only at one side and ignore this tragic humanity completely.”

The foreign minister said the majority of Gazans are now homeless and displaced.

“Moving from one family home to another, from a hospital to a church, from a mosque to an UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East) school. Sleeping in their cars, sleeping in the streets and still being killed wherever they go,” he said, adding that Palestinians feel like there is nowhere safe left in Gaza anymore.

Citing the Save the Children Foundation, Al-Maliki said 3,500 Palestinian children have been killed in the conflict in just three weeks, surpassing the annual number of children killed in conflict zones worldwide since 2019.

He questioned the UN Security Council’s inaction, asking, "How many more days will you wait to say enough?" urging the council to fulfill its duty to maintain international peace and security.

The foreign minister implored the Security Council to follow the General Assembly's example by immediately establishing a durable humanitarian truce. He insisted that the Security Council must uphold its responsibilities to end the bloodshed, which he characterized as a threat to regional and international peace and security.

On Friday, an overwhelming majority of nations – 120 countries – voted for a United Nations resolution calling for a “sustained humanitarian truce” in Gaza. The US, like Israel, has sharply criticized the effort and was one of 14 countries that voted against it on Friday.

Jordan brought the resolution to the General Assembly after successive attempts to call for ceasefires and humanitarian pauses failed in the more powerful Security Council.

At least 31 journalists killed in Israel-Gaza conflict since October 7, Committee to Protect Journalists says

From CNN’s Kareem El Damanhoury 

At least 31 journalists have lost their lives since the latest Israel-Gaza conflict  began on October 7 , the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said in a statement Monday. 

The journalists’ death toll includes 26 Palestinians, four Israelis, and one Lebanese, CPJ said, adding that it is investigating “numerous unconfirmed reports” of missing journalists and others who may been killed, detained, injured, or threatened.  

On Friday, the journalism advocacy group said this has been the “deadliest period” for journalists covering conflict since it began tracking in 1992.  

US ambassador to UN condemns killing of all civilians

From CNN's Artemis Moshtaghian and Richard Roth

Addressing the United Nations Security Council Monday, US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield underscored the importance of protecting all civilian lives in the escalating conflict in the Middle East, saying regardless of their nationality, "a civilian is a civilian is a civilian."

Thomas-Greenfield acknowledged the deaths of more than 60 staff members with the UN Relief and Works Agency  in Gaza since the war's onset and emphasized the need to protect not only the lives of aid workers, but also the lives of journalists living and working inside Gaza.

The ambassador underlined the need for rapid and increased humanitarian assistance , including food, fuel , water, medicine, and essential services in Gaza and called for a scaling up of these supplies. She also noted the need for humanitarian pauses in the conflict, which could permit safe passage for civilians and facilitate humanitarian aid delivery.

The ambassador also expressed the US’ deep concern for the “significant uptick in violence against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank.”

More than 100 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank, which is governed by the Palestinian Authority, since the October 7 attacks. Some have been killed by Israeli military forces and some by armed Israeli settlers living in the territory.

Thomas-Greenfield urged all members of the Security Council to work together to prevent any spillover of the crisis, and called out the General Assembly for not explicitly condemning Hamas’ actions. 

“The United States will continue to engage with any Council member – with any Member State – that is committed to adopting a strong and balanced resolution,” Thomas-Greenfield said. “But any Council product must support direct diplomacy efforts that can save lives and advance the prospects of a more peaceful and secure future for the region.”

She expressed disappointment that the US-proposed resolution to the Security Council was blocked, emphasizing the importance of a unified Security Council in addressing the crisis.

Some background: Last week, the US introduced a draft resolution to the UN Security Council calling for humanitarian pauses to allow for aid to reach Gazan civilians. Both Russia and China vetoed the resolution. Previously, the US had vetoed a draft resolution introduced by Brazil at the UN Security Council which called for a humanitarian pause in the war, citing the need for more time for on-the-ground-diplomacy.

UN organization calls for opening of Kerem Shalom crossing into Gaza

From CNN’s Richard Roth in New York and Niamh Kennedy in London 

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has called for the Kerem Shalom crossing linking Israel to Gaza to be opened in a bid to amp up humanitarian deliveries to the war-torn Gaza strip. 

In an address to the UN Security Council Monday, OCHA Director Lisa Doughten stressed the vital need to “get humanitarian supplies and relief into Gaza safely, reliably, without impediment, and at the scale required.” 

“More than one entry point into Gaza is indispensable if we are to make a difference – Kerem Shalom, between Israel and Gaza, is the only crossing equipped to rapidly process a sufficiently large number of trucks,” Doughten told the UN Security Council. 

After the Hamas attacks on October 7, Israel shut its remaining two border crossings with Gaza (Kerem Shalom and Erez), imposing a "complete siege" on the enclave. 

Doughten stressed Monday that the “scale of the horror” being experienced by Gazans is “hard to convey,” pointing towards an “increasingly desperate” civilian population. 

“In their desperation, people have resorted to breaking into UN warehouses in search of food and water,” Doughten said in the statement delivered on behalf of UN Emergency Relief Coordinator and Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affair Martin Griffiths.

The UN is now struggling to provide for the thousands of Gazans who fled from the north of the strip after being told to evacuate by Israel.

“The reality is that nowhere is safe and we simply do not have enough essential supplies to provide for the survival of internally displaced people at this scale,” Doughten said, drawing attention to the precariousness of the territory’s health system , which she described as being “in tatters.” 

According to Doughten, without fuel deliveries into the enclave, life is hanging on “by a thread” as “hospital backup generators run on fumes,” forcing surgeons to operate without anesthesia. 

Doughten called for the two warring sides to agree to a humanitarian pause , which she said would “provide the required calm and safety for hostages to be released, and for the UN to replenish supplies, relieve exhausted personnel, and resume assistance throughout Gaza wherever civilians are in need.” 

Israeli strike damages Gaza’s leading cancer hospital, hospital director says

From CNN’s Kareem El Damanhoury, Gul Tuysuz, Ibrahim Dahman & Paul Murphy 

An Israeli attack has damaged the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, Gaza’s leading cancer hospital, director Sobhi Skaik told CNN on Monday. 

The building suffered a direct hit to the third floor, Skaik said, causing damage to oxygen and water supplies but no injuries to people inside. 

A video circulating on social media and geolocated by CNN showed smoke emerging from the hospital’s central building.

“The most severe damage is the anxiety and panic that afflicts patients,” Skaik said. “Today, there were people who fled the hospital because of what they saw.”  

Asked to comment by CNN Tuesday, Israel’s military said in a statement: "The IDF did not strike Gaza's Turkish-Palestinian Friendship hospital." It did not offer any other information. 

The hospital, which is located just to the south of Gaza City, was funded by the Turkish government, which expressed its anger over the strike in a statement from the Foreign Ministry .

“There is no explanation for such an attack, even though all necessary information, including the coordinates of the institution in question … was shared with the Israeli authorities in advance,” said officials in Ankara, Turkey's capital.

Director Skaik said 200 people worked at the hospital, treating thousands of patients from across the strip each year.

He said the international community needed to do more to protect those most in need.

Second hospital struck in Beit Lahiya: Separately, Dr. Ateh Al Kahlout, the director the Indonesian Hospital in Beit Lahia, told CNN the building and its immediate vicinity had been shelled four times over the course of the day.

The hospital is in the northeast corner of the Gaza strip, which has come under some of the most sustained Israeli attacks since October 7.

Health officials have previously reported medical teams being unable to enter or exit the building due to damage from air strikes.

The hospital continues to be operating below full capacity, Al Kahlout told CNN, while at the same time it continues to provide shelter to thousands of displaced people.

UNICEF chief: Lack of clean water in Gaza is on the verge of "becoming a catastrophe"

From CNN’s Richard Roth in New York and Niamh Kennedy in London

The chief of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) issued a stark warning regarding water supply in Gaza on Monday, stressing that the situation is on the verge of “becoming a catastrophe.” 

Catherine Russell, whose agency provides humanitarian aid to children, outlined to the UN Security Council the devastating impact of heavy bombardment of civilian infrastructure in Gaza. 

“What little clean water remains in Gaza is quickly running out, leaving more than 2 million people in dire need. We estimate that 55% of the water supply infrastructure requires repair or rehabilitation,” Russell said. 

“Only one desalination plant is operating at just 5% capacity, while all six of Gaza’s water-waste treatment plants are now non-operational due to the lack of fuel or power.” 

She described the current situation as being on the “verge of becoming a catastrophe,” stressing that more civilians will likely die from dehydration and waterborne illnesses unless clean water supply is restored. 

In addition to the difficult environmental conditions, Russell drew attention to the “terrible trauma” being experienced by both children in Israel and Gaza and the occupied West Bank. 

“We are doing our best to reach every child in need, but the delivery of humanitarian aid – especially Gaza – is now extremely challenging. This is due to both the current siege conditions imposed on Gaza, and the highly dangerous circumstances under which our staff are operating,” Russell continued. 

The official said that without “an urgent end” to hostilities she fears “deeply” for the fate of the region’s children. 

“I implore the Security Council to immediately adopt a resolution that reminds parties of their obligations under international law … calls for a ceasefire … demands that parties allow safe and unimpeded humanitarian access … demands the immediate and safe release of all abducted and detained children … and urges parties to afford children the special protection to which they are entitled,” she added. 

“Children do not start conflicts, and they are powerless to stop them. They need all of us …to put their safety and security at the forefront of our efforts,” she concluded. 

Hundreds killed in attacks on the health sector in Gaza, World Health Organization says

From CNN’s Kareem El Damanhoury and Abeer Salman 

At least 491 people were killed and 372 were injured in attacks on the health sector in Gaza since October 7, according to a  statement  from the World Health Organization (WHO) on Monday. 

Out of the casualties, at least 16 health workers lost their lives and 30 were injured while on duty, WHO said, adding that 82 attacks on healthcare facilities have been documented in the enclave.

Since the first attack by Hamas, 28 ambulances have also been damaged and 36 health facilities have been affected, the statement read. 

WHO further said another 118 attacks on the health sector in the West Bank and East Jerusalem have been documented, killing three and injuring 15 health personnel on duty since October 7.

CNN did not immediately hear back from the Israeli military when reached for comment but the Israeli Defense Forces has maintained it does not intentionally strike civilian targets in its campaign against Hamas.

EU sanctions Iranian defense minister, Quds commander over drone transfers to Russia

The European Union adopted restrictive measures Friday against six Iranians and three Iranian entities for their involvement in transferring drone technologies to Russia, and the United States announced additional sanctions, blacklisting four Iranian companies that it said had procured parts for Iran's drone program.

The six EU-sanctioned individuals are Mohammad-Reza Gharaei Ashtiani, defense minister; Gholam Ali Rashid, commander of the Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters; Hossein Hatefi Ardakani, chair of Kavan-Electronics-Behrad; Mehdi Dehghani Mohammadabadi, CEO of Kavan-Electronics-Behrad; Ismail Qaani, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) Quds Force; and Afshin Khaji Fard, head of the Iranian Aviation Industries Organization (IAIO). 

The three groups sanctioned by the EU are the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, which coordinates between the Iranian military and the IRGC; the Iran-based company Kavan-Electronics-Behrad, which procures and sells drone parts; and the IRGC Navy.

The European Council issued a release stating, "Those targeted will be subject to an asset freeze and travel ban to the European Union. Additionally, the provision of funds or economic resources, directly or indirectly, to or for the benefit of natural or legal persons, entities or bodies listed is prohibited."

The US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced Friday its targeting of four entities associated with the previously OFAC-designated Rayan Roshd Afzar Company that have procured critical parts for Iran’s drone program. In addition, like the EU, OFAC has also targeted IAIO head Afshin Khaji Fard. Defense Minister Gharaei Ashtian, sanctioned by the EU on Friday, was blacklisted last month by the United Kingdom as well as by the United States. 

Friday’s decision by the EU follows several decisions in the last few months surrounding Iranian drones used by the Russian military .  

In September, the EU broadened its scrutiny beyond Iranian individuals and companies involved in the production of reconnaissance and attack drones to encompass international companies and nations indirectly supplying components for Iran's drone manufacturing.  

That decision was reinforced on March 22, when the European Council declared, "Russia’s access to sensitive items and technologies with battlefield relevance must be restricted to the maximum extent possible, including by targeting entities in third countries enabling this circumvention." The council stated at that time that it would continue to work closely with regional and international partners to prevent further regional escalation, notably in Lebanon and the Red Sea region. 

Then, on May 14, the EU expanded sanctions targeting Iran’s military support for Russia to include the production and transfer of both drones and missiles. These sanctions included all Iranian transfers to Russia and to the Middle East.
