Major General Ori Gordin, head of Israel's Northern Command, was reportedly killed today in a rocket strike believed to have been carried out by Iran, according to unconfirmed Israeli sources.
Gordin, a veteran commander responsible for defense along the borders with Lebanon and Syria, played a central role in recent operations in the north.
According to some accounts, Gordin stated today that "the threats from Iran's proxies in the north will be met with an overwhelming Israeli force." Explosions struck a military post in the north shortly afterward.
The area is cordoned off; the government remains silent, but media outlets are reporting Gordin's death.
An escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran is looming.
