The Israeli Air Force completed a wave of airstrikes against dozens of headquarters belonging to Iran’s internal security forces in Tehran, the military says.

“As part of the sortie, the IDF struck headquarters and bases of internal security bodies subordinate to the Iranian terror regime and responsible for suppressing protests against the regime, including through the use of violence and the arrest of civilians,” the military says in a statement.

“Striking these bases deepens the blow to the regime’s repression capabilities,” the IDF says.

In addition, the military says it struck more than 10 headquarters belonging to Iran’s Intelligence Ministry, and a command center belonging to the IRGC’s Quds Force, where it says Iranian soldiers were gathered.

The IAF also struck Iranian ballistic missile launchers, a weapons production site, and other IRGC facilities as part of the strikes, the military adds.
