The Israeli military launched an assault overnight on buildings affiliated with Iran’s internal security forces, with the Israeli Air Force carrying out “an additional wave of airstrikes targeting regime-affiliated sites across Tehran,” the Israel Defense Forces said.
Airstrikes targeted “dozens” of sites connected to those forces, IDF spokesperson Avichay Adraee said in a post in Arabic on social media early on Wednesday.
The IDF said it dropped “numerous” munitions on headquarters belonging to the Basij Militia, forces that had been employed by the former supreme leader in quelling domestic unrest.
“These headquarters were used by the Iranian regime to maintain its stability and tighten its control across various parts of Iran by shaping the operational situation picture,” Adraee said.
He added, “Additionally, the Supply and Logistics Directorate affiliated with the regime’s Ground Forces was targeted, along with missile launch platforms and defensive systems.”
Strike’s on infrastructure related to the Iranian regime were expected to “continue to deepen,” he said.
