A wave of Israeli airstrikes in Tehran yesterday hit dozens of command centers of Iran’s Basij paramilitary force and internal security forces, the military says.

In addition, as part of the strikes, the IDF says it struck sites belonging to the Iranian army’s logistics division, missile launchers and air defense systems.
