The Israeli military says it has destroyed “most of the central assets” of Iran’s internal security forces and Basij paramilitary force in the Ilam Province of western Iran.

In the past week, the IDF says it ramped up strikes on the Iranian internal security forces and Basij in several areas of Iran, and the province where most damage was caused is Ilam.

The military says that Iran’s internal security forces and Basij in the Ilam Province “carried out numerous terror plans and, among other things, conducted brutal repression during the internal protests in Iran in December–January.”

In the Ilam Province, the IDF says it destroyed a main headquarters of the internal security forces; a headquarters of Iran’s Intelligence Ministry; a headquarters of the IRGC, responsible for protest suppression; a headquarters of the special forces unit of the internal security forces; several Basij headquarters; and IRGC infrastructure “used to strengthen the regime’s control and governance in the province.”
