In a statement released by the Iranian military, it was announced that two Iranian soldiers were killed in an overnight attack by Israel, with the soldiers losing their lives while defending the country’s security. The attack, which targeted sites in Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam provinces, aimed at Iran’s missile production facilities and air defense infrastructure.
Despite Iran’s defenses successfully thwarting the strikes, limited damage was reported in some locations. This rare direct strike on Iranian military sites comes in response to Iran’s missile attacks on targets in Tel Aviv earlier in October.
Iran had previously warned of a harsher response to any attacks from Israel, and experts believe this latest attack will further escalate tensions between the two countries.
The details of the attack and the extent of the damage are still being investigated, with more information expected to be released soon.
