Iran’s Army has announced the martyrdom of two of its forces in Israel’s pre-dawn aggression on a number of military positions across the country, Press TV reported.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran’s Army offered in sacrifice two of its soldiers last night while confronting the projectiles of the criminal Zionist regime in order to safeguard the security of Iran and prevent harm to the Iranian nation and interests,” the Iranian Army said in a statement on Saturday.
Media reports identified the two martyred Army forces as Major Hamzeh Jahandideh and Sergeant Mohammad-Mehdi Shahrokhifar.
The strikes targeted parts of military sites in the capital Tehran as well as the western and southwestern provinces of Ilam and Khuzestan, with Iran’s air defense saying the attacks were “successfully intercepted and countered.”
The attacks caused “limited damage” in some locations and the dimensions of the incident are under investigation.
Despite Israeli media reports overplaying the Israeli attack by circulating fake images, the Iranian public returned to their routines and daily life continued smoothly across the country.
