The Israeli Air Force hit dozens of Iranian regime infrastructure sites during a wave of airstrikes in Tehran and western Iran today, the military says.

During the strike sorties, the military says IAF fighter jets identified Iranian soldiers operating at a headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Iran’s capital, and moments later, struck and killed them.

It publishes footage of the strike.

According to the IDF, other strikes in Tehran targeted headquarters and command centers of the IRGC air force; a compound at Imam Hossein University, the IRGC’s military academy, which was used as a staging ground by Iranian soldiers; ballistic missile storage and production sites; and air defense missiles.

Elsewhere, the military says it struck headquarters and military bases of Iran’s internal security forces, the Basij paramilitary force, and a headquarters of Iran’s intelligence ministry.

The IDF says the strikes are part of a new stage of the war aimed at “deepening the blow to the core arrays of the Iranian terror regime and its foundations.”
