An Israeli airstrike hit Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison a short while ago, according to reports from Iran.
The opposition Iran International says the strike hit the entrance gate to the prison, apparently to allow prisoners to escape.
Evin Prison is a large and heavily fortified complex where Iran has incarcerated political prisoners, journalists, academics, human rights activists, and others.
