Al Jazeera reported that Israel also bombed several sites in central Iran, with unconfirmed reports of journalists being killed. The New York Times noted that Israeli forces attacked the command center of the Quds Force, a key Iranian military unit responsible for foreign operations and support of proxy groups like Hezbollah.
