Israel says it killed a top Iranian security official and the Basij force chief

Israel’s defense minister says the military killed top Iranian security official Ali Larijani in an overnight strike.

The military also announced it has killed Gen. Gholam Reza Soleimani, the head of the Revolutionary Guard’s all-volunteer Basij force.

Iranian state media did not immediately confirm either death.

Also on Tuesday, a drone attack in the United Arab Emirates sparked a fire at an oil tank farm in Fujairah.

The Israeli military also says it had launched new attacks across Tehran and Beirut, with the strikes on the Lebanese capital targeting Hezbollah militants.
