Gani has been out of touch and rumored to be dead since the Israeli military bombing of Beirut on the 3rd, which is believed to have targeted Hashim Safiedin, the next leader of Hezbollah.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed the death of Safiedin on the 8th, saying it had "removed thousands of terrorists, including the successor of Hezbollah's chief Nasrallah and his successor."
Hezbollah, however, did not comment on Safiedin's life or death.
The Quds Force is an elite unit responsible for overseas operations within the revolutionary guard.
It funds pro-Iranian armed groups in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, so-called "Iranian proxy forces," supports weapons, training, and counterterrorism operations, and exports Iran's Islamic Revolution abroad.
