Israeli forces carried out a new wave of strikes on Monday targeting a range of Iranian military installations and security apparatus, which are said to be tied to the country’s paramilitary group the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), as well as other groups.
Among the locations hit were the Basij headquarters, the Seyyed al-Shohada base of the IRC, the Tharallah Base in Tehran, the IRGC unit in Alborz province, the Intelligence Protection Command of the IRGC, and the Intelligence Directorate of Iran’s national police, reports Iran International.
The Tharallah (Sarallah) Base, a central command unit tasked with managing major security incidents in the capital, was reportedly one of the main targets. It operates under the direct supervision of the IRGC’s top command and plays a key role in suppressing domestic unrest.
The Israeli Defense Forces said that the targeted areas “consist of various corps and command centers and are responsible, on behalf of the Iranian regime’s military, for defending the homeland security, suppressing threats, and maintaining the regime’s stability.”
