Israeli military says it eliminated more than 20 Iranian commanders
The Israeli military has killed more than 20 military commanders in attacks on Iran, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday as the conflict between the two nations raged on. Among those killed was the head of the intelligence department in the Iranian armed forces' general staff, Gholamreza Mehrabi, the IDF said. Iranian state radio had previously reported his death and described him as deputy head of the intelligence department. Iran says almost 100 people were killed in the Israeli attacks. Most of the victims were civilians, according to Iran's UN ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani. At least three people were killed by missiles fired from Iran in the densely populated Tel Aviv metropolitan area in Israel. The IDF said Mehrabi was "responsible for intelligence situational assessments for the Iranian Armed Forces and was considered Iran's most senior intelligence officer." "He was also a highly respected senior figure within the regime's security organization and a close associate of the Iranian Armed Forces Chief of Staff, Mohammad Hossein Bagheri, who was also eliminated in the opening strike," the IDF said. Bagheri was commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Surface-To-Surface Missile Array, the IDF said, and "oversaw most of Iran's long-range surface-to-surface and cruise missile capabilities." "He was eliminated alongside IRGC's Air Force Commander, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, and several other senior officials in an underground headquarters in Tehran," the IDF said.

Iran Says 2 More High-ranking Generals Killed in Israeli Strikes
Iran confirmed on Saturday that two additional high-ranking generals were killed in Israeli strikes on the country. Iranian state television identified the two killed as Gen. Gholamreza Mehrabi, the deputy of intelligence for the armed forces' general staff, and Gen. Mehdi Rabbani, the deputy of operations. It did not say where the men were killed. Israel's strikes on Friday killed multiple high-ranking officers within Iran's armed forces, including the chief of staff of the army and the head of Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard. Israel's military said Saturday it was striking dozens of missile launchers in Iran, after announcing it had targeted air defenses with a wave of strikes in the Tehran area overnight. The Israeli air force "continues striking dozens of surface-to-surface missile launchers in Iran,' the military said in a statement. Iran's state TV reported on Saturday that around 60 people, including 20 children, were killed in an Israeli attack on a housing complex in the Iranian capital.
