Following the identification, the Israeli Air Force struck the Basij checkpoints and members of the paramilitary force, the IDF says.
Iranian media reported that several members of Iran’s internal security forces and Basij stationed at the checkpoints were killed.
“These armed forces are part of the Iranian regime’s security apparatus and have for years been responsible for carrying out terror activities,” the military says, adding that “these forces lead the main repression operations against internal protests, particularly in the recent period, using severe violence, widespread arrests, and the use of force against civilian demonstrators.”
