Israel targeted high-rise with incredible precision to take out top nuclear scientists in Tehran, photos show
Israel obliterated top Iranian nuclear scientists with incredible precision, according to stunning new photos showing single apartments blown out of Tehran high-rises.
Aftermath pictures of the air strikes in the Shahid Mahallati neighborhood — known for housing military leaders and nuclear masterminds of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard — show just three floors bombed out and the rest of the residence undisturbed.

Another photo showed a precise hole through the side of a building — again destroying just one apartment.
Nearby buildings in the densely packed neighborhood appear to be remarkably unaffected by the missile strike.

It was not immediately clear which of the Iranian leaders were killed in the incredibly accurate strike but Iranian state media confirmed at least 20 key military and nuclear science officials were taken out during Israel's preemptive strike Thursday.
Gen. Hossein Salami, Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, and Lt. Gen. Gholamali Rashid were the IRGC leaders killed in Thursday's historic attack, the largest ever Israel has launched against Iran.

Nuclear scientists Fereydoun Abbasi, Ali Shamkhani, Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, and four others were also killed.
The Jewish state also targeted numerous key locations of Iran's nuclear program in the Thursday onslaught, which continued late into Friday night.
