The IDF says it is examining the results of an airstrike last night targeting senior Iranian intelligence officials.
“Last night, we struck a facility of the intelligence directorate of Khatam al-Anbiya, the emergency command,” says IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin in a video statement.
“This is the body responsible for compiling information collected by intelligence agencies in Iran to present it to the regime’s security leadership,” he says.
Defrin says the IDF struck the site “while several senior officials from the directorate were present.”
“At this stage, we are examining the results of the strike,” he adds.
