The Iranian news agency Tasnim published on Sunday pictures of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps soldiers in training, with a twist – the targets the soldiers were using featured images of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump.

The targets are being used in drills designed to simulate fighting in populated urban areas.

In June, a report from the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs revealed that the IRGC was actively working to arm various terrorist organizations in Judea and Samaria, with the hope of sparking fresh hostilities against Israel.

Former IRGC commander Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi said on Quds Day (May 31) that support for the Palestinians was a fundamental principle of the Islamic Revolution, and would continue until the "Zionist regime" was eliminated. Safavi praised the upgraded weapons the Palestinians have been using and stressed that the "blessed" process of procuring advanced weaponry was still underway.

In April, Trump designated the IRGC a foreign terrorist organization, the first time the US formally labeled another country's military a terrorist group.
