An Israeli official confirmed Wednesday morning that the Israeli Air Force carried out an attempted targeted assassination against Iranian Intelligence Minister Esmaeil Khatib on Tuesday night.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed Khatib’s death, saying that Khatib had been “in charge of the Iranian regime’s mechanisms for murder and internal repression, and of advancing external threats.”
“Israel’s policy is clear and unambiguous: No one in Iran is immune, and they are all targets.”
