Israel said on Saturday it had assassinated a veteran Iranian commander as both sides continued to trade strikes in the more than week-long air war, with Tehran saying it would not negotiate over its nuclear program while under threat.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said that Saeed Izadi, who led the Palestine Corps of the Quds Force, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' overseas arm, was killed in a strike on an apartment in the Iranian city of Qom.
