Israel Reports Killing Head of Iran's Basij Force Amid Regional Tensions

Israel announced it killed Gholamreza Soleimani, head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards' Basij force, which it describes as key in suppressing protests in Iran. The strike reportedly occurred on Monday, but Iran has not confirmed Soleimani's death. The Israeli military stated the Basij played a central role in repressing demonstrations with force and arrests. This development coincides with increased missile and drone attacks linked to Iran in the Gulf region.
