IDF Confirms Elimination of Iranian Military Leaders in Airstrike

In a significant military action, the IDF has confirmed the death of several top Iranian military commanders. The airstrikes, involving more than 200 fighter jets, targeted key figures: the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, the Commander of the IRGC, and the Commander of Iran’s Emergency Command. The IDF issued a statement, describing the eliminated officials as “ruthless mass murderers” with the implication of international crimes. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the launch of ‘Operation Rising Lion’, aimed at neutralizing the Iranian threat. The operation has led to a declared state of emergency across Israel by Defence Minister Israel Katz, with strikes focusing on critical military and nuclear facilities within Iran.
