Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Wednesday that Iran's Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib has been killed in overnight strikes in Tehran, marking the third assassination of a high-ranking official in just two days.
The report comes after Israel said Tuesday that Iran's top security official Ali Larijani and the commander of Iran's Basij forces, Gholamreza Soleimani, had both been killed. Iran's official judiciary news agency later confirmed the killing of Soleimani, the AP reported.
"The intensity of the attacks in Iran is increasing. We are in the midst of the decisive victory," Katz said in a statement, according to the Associated Press.
