The Israel Defense Forces reported that Israeli Air Force fighters struck headquarters and facilities belonging to Iran's internal security forces.
"These forces consist of various corps and commands and are responsible, on behalf of the armed forces of the Iranian regime, for the country's defense, suppression of threats, and maintaining regime stability," the IDF statement said.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, the Basij headquarters "serves as one of the bases of the IRGC's authority and is responsible, among other things, for enforcing the Islamic code and reporting civilians who violate it to the authorities."
In addition, the strikes reportedly hit the Alborz Corps, which, according to the military, "is responsible for defending several cities in Tehran province from various threats and maintaining regime stability," as well as intelligence and general security police of the Iranian internal security forces.
"These headquarters are significant both from a military and administrative point of view, and striking them damages the military capabilities of the Iranian regime," the Israel Defense Forces added.
