Israel’s Defense Minister, Israel Katz, announced on Wednesday that Israel has carried out an operation resulting in the death of Iran’s Intelligence Minister, Esmail Khatib.
The killing of Khatib follows the targeted assassinations of senior Iranian security official Ali Larijani and the head of the Basij, the paramilitary volunteer force of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.
Katz stated that “significant surprises are expected throughout the day on all fronts,” without providing further details.
