Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Monday that at least 10 of its forces were killed in an Israeli airstrike in central Yazd province, reports Iran Wire.
The Sepah al-Ghadir unit said in a statement that three of the dead were from Yazd province while seven others were forces deployed from Kerman province.
The statement added that several other Revolutionary Guards personnel were wounded in the strikes.
Israel claims it has eliminated two dozen Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists since launching its surprise offensive on June 13, reports Al Jazeera.
Meanwhile, tensions in the Middle East continue to mount, with Iran vowing retaliation for the recent US airstrikes on its nuclear facilities, while US President Donald Trump has suggested the possibility of regime change in Tehran.
Despite the US strikes, hostilities between Israel and Iran have continued over the past day, raising concerns of an escalating regional conflict.
Iranian officials report that over 400 people have been killed and at least 3,056 wounded since Israel began its offensive on June 13. In response, at least 24 people have been killed in Israeli territory due to Iranian counterattacks, according to reports.
