Israel strikes kill top Iranian leaders

Israel confirmed the killing of Iranian official Esmail Khatib, following strikes that killed top security official Ali Larijani and Basij force chief Gen. Gholam Reza Soleimani, AP wrote.

A senior Israeli intelligence official said Soleimani was targeted while hiding in a tent under trees, signaling that Iranian leaders “have no safe place.” Defense Minister Israel Katz warned of “significant surprises” across all fronts, without giving further details.
