JERUSALEM, June 18 (Xinhua) — Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Wednesday that fighter jets from the Jewish state’s air force destroyed “the headquarters of Iran’s internal security forces.”
He added that Israel would continue to strike “symbols of Iranian rule,” without giving details of the operation or its targets.
I. Katz’s comments came shortly after the Israeli military announced that its planes had begun a new series of airstrikes on “military targets of the Iranian regime” in Tehran.
Videos circulating on social media showed plumes of smoke rising from several locations in east and southeast Tehran after the explosions.
Iran’s Fars news agency reported that Israel also attacked Payam International Airport, a key Iranian aviation hub near Tehran, on Wednesday, adding that firefighters and rescue teams were working at the site of the blast northwest of the Iranian capital.
According to official figures, the military action that began on June 13 with surprise Israeli airstrikes on Iran has so far killed about 600 people in Iran and 24 in Israel. –0–
