JERUSALEM: Israel’s military said it struck targets in central Iran on Monday, including internal security command centers and missile launch sites, in the first raid since the Islamic republic appointed a new supreme leader.
“The Israeli Air Force... completed an additional wave of strikes on infrastructure across Iran belonging to the Iranian regime,” a military statement said.
The targets included “a rocket engine production facility and several long-range ballistic missiles launch sites” that threatened Israel, it said.
The internal security headquarters in the central city of Isfahan, a police headquarters and other facilities used by the Revolutionary Guards and paramilitary Basij force were also hit, according to the military.
“The Internal Security and Basij forces... constitute a central arm in the repression of the Iranian civilian population and are responsible for the use of brutal and systematic violence against it,” the statement said.
