The IDF targeted and killed at least two senior members of Iran's intelligence ministry in precise strikes on its Tehran headquarters, it said on Monday.
The ministry serves as the Islamic regime's main intelligence body, the Israeli military said.
Those killed in the strike included Sayed Yahya Hamidi, deputy minister of intelligence for 'Israel affairs,' and Jalal Pour Hossein, head of the espionage division at the ministry.
Hamidi has in recent years led Iran's terrorist activities targeting Jews, Western officials, and regime opponents in Iran and abroad, the IDF said.
Senior terror operatives killed, IDF uses intel from Gaza war
Together with them, additional senior terrorists were killed, the IDF added. These were Iranian regime officials who operated to advance attacks around the world and repress the Iranian people, including during the recent protests.
During the course of the Israel-Hamas war, IDF soldiers operating in the Gaza Strip found several documents that revealed repeated attempts to establish joint intelligence operations between Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Lebanon, led by personnel from the Iranian intelligence ministry.
