Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has said the army is targeting the “regime targets and government repression bodies in the heart of Tehran”, Al Jazeera reports.

These include the headquarters of the IRGC’s Basij force, the internal security headquarters of the IRGC, Evin Prison and the “Israel Destruction” clock in Palestine Square, Katz said in a post on X.

“For every shot fired at the Israeli home front, the Iranian dictator will be punished and the attacks will continue with full force,” he added.
