Iran security chief killed in overnight Israeli strike
Israel has announced Iran's security chief and the head of its Basij militia have been killed in overnight airstrikes.
Defence Minister Israel Katz announced Tehran's security chief Ali Larijani had been killed.
Larijani would be the most senior figure assassinated since Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei was killed on the first day of Israeli-US airstrikes on February 28.
Katz said Gholamreza Soleimani, the commander of Iran’s Basij forces, had also been killed.
