Israel Hits Iranian Terrorist Targets, Israeli Rescuers Pull Bodies from Missile Strike

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel eliminated two senior figures tied to Iran’s leadership as strikes continue across the region.

Earlier reports stated that Israeli strikes killed senior Iranian-linked operatives, though Netanyahu did not identify them in the video.

In a video message posted online, Netanyahu said Israeli forces are continuing to target operatives across Iran.

“I’m here with Israel’s Defense Minister, our Chief of Staff, the head of the Mossad, the Chief of Air Force, our senior commanders. In the past 24 hours, we knocked out two of the terrorist chieftains, the top terrorist chieftains of this tyranny,” Netanyahu said.

“Our aircraft are hitting the terror operatives on the grounds, in the crossroads, in the city squares. This is meant to enable the brave people of Iran to celebrate the Festival of Fire,” he continued.

“So celebrate and Happy Nowruz. We’re watching from above.”

Meanwhile, Israeli rescue workers pulled two bodies from a gruesome scene where an Iranian missile hit Ramat Gan near Tel Aviv, according to Israeli emergency responders on the scene.

Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedic Inbar Green and MDA EMT Naftali Halberstadt, who were on scene in Ramat Gan, said:

“We saw smoke rising from a building with extensive damage and shattered glass. From among the debris, we saw two unconscious casualties, with no pulse and not breathing, with severe injuries to their bodies."

"We conducted medical assessments, but they had no signs of life, and we had no choice but to pronounce them dead at the scene," Halberstadt said. "Together with additional MDA teams, we are continuing to search locations where reports were received for additional casualties and are prepared to provide further medical treatment if required.”
