The Israeli military said it attacked a compound in eastern Tehran housing the headquarters for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the elite Quds Force, the intelligence directorate, Basij paramilitary force, Iran's cyber unit, and a "unit in Internal Security responsible for suppressing protests."  More than 250 bombs were dropped by over 100 fighter jets in the "wide-scale" strike, according to an Israeli military official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak publicly.
