The IDF struck and destroyed checkpoints and roadblocks set up by the Iranian regime’s Basij militia in Tehran, the military said on Thursday.
The Israeli Air Force, guided by IDF intelligence, struck the checkpoints and Basij militia members, furthering the degradation of Iranian Internal Security and Basij assets.
According to the IDF, the Basij has been responsible for carrying out terror attacks as part of the regime's security apparatus, as well as violently suppressing domestic anti-regime protests.
Israeli drone strikes kill security personnel, Basij militia members
Several Iranian regime security personnel and Basij militia members were killed in a series of Israeli drone strikes on Tehran, according to a report from Iran International citing Iranian state media on Wednesday.
At least ten people were killed in what the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)-linked Fars News Agency alleged were “terrorist” attacks.
The drone strikes targeted checkpoints, including those located at District 14 near the Mahallati Highway, District 15 across from the Hashemabad gas station, District 16 on Fadaiyan-e Islam Street, and District 1 at the end of Artesh Boulevard, said Iran International.
