Israel targets Iran security chief Ali Larijani, says might be killed or injured
Ali Larijani, the man tasked with steering Iran's security strategy and who has been Tehran's face amid the conflict, was targeted by Israel on Tuesday. However, Israel said it was not immediately clear whether Larijani was killed or injured, Reuters reported. The development, if true, will further cripple the Iranian leadership that lost Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on the first day of strikes. His successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, is also believed to be in a coma and seriously injured.

The profiles of at least three of China's leading nuclear, missile and radar experts were scrubbed from the website of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the country's most prestigious academic body. This comes as a series of purges under Premier Xi Jinping's anti-corruption campaign have decimated the upper echelons of China's military and scientific community.

The aircraft had also been used by senior Iranian officials and military figures for both domestic and international travel, and for coordinating with allied countries, the Israeli military said. Meanwhile, Dubai International Airport has resumed flight operations after a temporary suspension of about seven hours caused by a drone strike near a fuel tank facility.
