Israeli PM Netanyahu’s office targeted in missile attacks, Iran’s IRGC says
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) on Monday said its missile strikes targeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office and the place of stay of the commander of the Israeli Air Force, Tomer Bar.
In a statement on its official news outlet, Sepah News, the IRGC said the “targeted and surprise” attacks were carried out using homegrown Kheibar ballistic missiles.
The Kheibar, unveiled and test-launched in May 2023, has a range of 2,000km and a warhead capacity of 1,500kg.
The IRGC added that Mr Netanyahu’s fate is unknown, noting that further details will be provided later.
Earlier on Saturday morning, joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Tehran and other Iranian cities killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, along with some of the leader’s family members, senior military commanders, and civilians.
Iran responded through several waves of missile and drone attacks targeting Israel and U.S. bases across the Middle East.
