Israel army 'regrets' damage to Tehran synagogue The Israeli military on Tuesday expressed regret over what it called collateral damage to a synagogue in Tehran caused by an overnight strike. The strike, the Israeli military said, was targeting a senior Iranian commander. Last night (Tuesday), the IDF struck a senior commander in the emergency headquarters 'Khatam al-Anbiya' of the Iranian terror regime, an Israeli military spokesperson said in response to a question from AFP.
The IDF regrets the collateral damage to the synagogue and emphasises that the strike was targeted at a senior military target within the regime's armed forces, not at any place of worship. Earlier on Tuesday, Iranian media reported that the Rafi-Nia Synagogue in central Tehran had been completely destroyed.
