In revenge, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps IRGC says it targeted Israel’s “spy headquarters” in Iraq’s Kurdistan region and also struck in Syria against the armed group ISIL (ISIS).
Iran promised payback for the killing of three IRGC members in Syria last month, including a senior general, who served as military advisers there.
“In response to the recent atrocities of the Zionist regime, causing the killing of commanders of the Guards and the Axis of Resistance … one of the main Mossad espionage headquarters in Iraq’s Kurdistan region was destroyed with ballistic missiles,” the IRGC said in a statement.
“We assure our nation the Guards’ offensive operations will continue until avenging the last drops of martyrs’ blood.”
The strikes come amid concerns about the escalation of a conflict that has spread through the Middle East since Israel invaded Gaza.
