Iran's intelligence minister killed in overnight strike, Israel says

Israel says Iran's intelligence minister Esmail Khatib has been killed in an overnight strike. It comes after Iran's top security official Ali Larijani was also killed yesterday. The IDF said Khatib's Ministry of Intelligence played a key role in supporting the regime’s "repression and terrorist activities", and that he himself played a "significant role" in the "arrest and killing of protesters" during a recent crackdown on demonstrations in Iran. "His elimination joins dozens of other eliminations of senior commanders of the Iranian terrorist regime... and significantly degrades the regime’s command and control structures," the IDF added. Iran has not yet commented on reports of Khatib's death. Meanwhile, Israel has launched a series of strikes on Lebanon's capital Beirut, as it continues its offensive against Hezbollah.
