At least 20 senior Iranian commanders including the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) air force, Aerospace Force Commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh, were killed in Israel's strikes on Iran on Friday, two regional sources have told Reuters.
Hajzadeh joins a growing list of senior military officials killed in the early Friday attacks, including Major General Hossein Salami, IRGC commander-in-chief, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, the chief of Iran's armed forces general staff, and Gholam Ali Rashid, commander of the most important strategic military command body in Iran.
Two key nuclear scientists Fereydoun Abbasi and Mohammad-Mehdi Tehranci were also killed, reportedly along with several other scientists.
