The IDF killed five Iranian soldiers at a military site in western Iran following real-time intelligence, while separately striking Iran's largest gas processing facility in the south—an escalation aimed at deepening the regime's crisis.


Israeli forces are continuing offensive operations against the Iranian regime. On Wednesday, the Air Force killed five soldiers operating at a military site in the area.

According to the IDF, the soldiers were identified through precise real-time intelligence as they operated inside a military compound in western Iran. Following the identification, the Air Force carried out a targeted strike that killed the soldiers.

The IDF says the Air Force is continuing ongoing efforts to locate and eliminate Iranian regime soldiers, with the goal of removing threats to the State of Israel.

Earlier Wednesday, Israeli jets struck Iran’s largest gas processing facility in Bushehr Asaluyeh in southern Iran. According to reports, the targeted site contains roughly 70% of the country’s natural gas. A senior security official told Channel 14: “This is an escalation designed to deepen the crisis of the terror regime in Iran.”

Iranian civilians who witnessed the strike reported that “Asaluyeh was heavily bombed at 14:10. They didn’t hit the barrels, they only hit the transport pipes.” Another citizen wrote: “At 14:00, phases 4 and 5 of South Pars were attacked, and all the workers and employees fled from the Asaluyeh phases.” Another said: “In Asaluyeh, petrochemical plants were attacked and explosions are happening one after another.”
