Israel strikes Iranian state TV, warns people to evacuate Tehran after accusing Iran of targeting...

Israel struck the headquarters of Iranian state television in northern Tehran yesterday, setting fire to the facility during a live broadcast hours after issuing evacuation warnings to residents in the capital. Israel said the building was being used to hide military infrastructure; the claim has not been verified independently. Earlier in the day, Israel said it had also attacked the headquarters of Iran’s Quds Force—an elite branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (see overview). The strikes came on the fourth day of missile exchanges between Israel and Iran. Since Israel began its military operation Thursday, at least 224 people have been killed and over 1,400 wounded in Iran, and at least 24 people have been killed and around 600 wounded in Israel as of this writing.
