JERUSALEM -- The Israeli military said Monday night it completed a wave of strikes in the heart of Tehran targeting the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and the Basij headquarters, on the third day of the US-Israel joint operation against the Islamic republic.

The Israeli Air Force struck "dozens" of headquarters belonging to the government's internal security bodies. Among the targets were over 10 headquarters of the Ministry of Intelligence — Iran's primary intelligence body — along with numerous Quds Force facilities.

The military specifically highlighted strikes on regional command centers and Basij headquarters, adding that it will continue to target Iran's official systems.

In addition to the command centers, the air force continued to target surface-to-surface missile launchers, weapons production sites, and various Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps' Air Force assets.

The strike in the Iranian capital follows a day of heavy escalation, which included the mobilization of 110,000 Israeli reservists and intensive strikes in Lebanon, including in Beirut, after the Iran-aligned Hezbollah fired missiles and drones toward Israel.
