Israel conducts airstrikes on IRGC infrastructure

More than 80 Israeli Air Force fighter jets, acting under the guidance of IDF Intelligence Directorate, carried out an additional series of strikes against the infrastructure of the “Iranian terror regime” in Tehran and other areas of central Iran, the IDF press service said in a statement.

“As part of the strikes, the IDF struck several military sites belonging to the Iranian regime, including:

- The main Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps military university, the Imam Hossein University, which was used for the training of IRGC officers. In addition, the military university was being used as an emergency asset; and most recently as an IRGC assembly compound, particularly during Operation 'Rising Lion'. The university contained multiple military assets utilized by the IRGC. As such, the site constituted a lawful military objective under the law of armed conflict, by its nature, use, and purpose.

- A storage site of the Iranian missile unit in which military bunkers and launching infrastructure were located.

- An underground infrastructure used for storing ballistic missiles, where hundreds of regime operatives were operating. The site included military bunkers and command centers from which senior officials of the Iranian regime were operating.

Moreover, additional targets were struck, including launch sites that were identified in several areas in western and central Iran, in order to reduce the scope of fire directed at the territory of the State of Israel.

The combined effort to strengthen the impact on the Iranian regime's firing and defense capabilities is ongoing, alongside continued efforts to degrade the Iranian regime’s production infrastructure,” the statement reads.
