Israeli military strikes Iranian internal security command centres and missile launch sites in first raid since new supreme leader appointment.
JERUSALEM: Israel’s military announced strikes on targets in central Iran, including internal security command centres and missile launch sites.
This marks the first such raid since the Islamic Republic appointed a new supreme leader.
The Israeli Air Force completed a wave of strikes on infrastructure belonging to the Iranian regime, a military statement said.
Targets included a rocket engine production facility and several long-range ballistic missile launch sites that threatened Israel.
The internal security headquarters in Isfahan, a police headquarters, and other facilities used by the Revolutionary Guards and Basij force were also hit.
“The Internal Security and Basij forces… constitute a central arm in the repression of the Iranian civilian population,” the statement said.
It added they are responsible for the use of brutal and systematic violence against civilians.
The latest strikes aim to deepen damage to the core arrays and foundations of the Iranian regime.
This is the first wave of strikes Israel has announced since Tehran named Mojtaba Khamenei as supreme leader.
