Israel Targets Senior Hamas, Hezbollah Leaders Amid Broader Iran Strikes

Recent escalations in the Israel-Iran conflict have seen Israel expanding its military operations beyond nuclear and military sites to include attacks on civilian locations such as Iran's Evin Prison, resulting in significant casualties among detainees and nearby civilians. According to Iranian officials, the June 23 airstrike on Evin Prison killed 71 people, including detainees and administrative staff, highlighting the intensification of hostilities. Iranian Ambassador Ali Ghomshi condemned Israel's actions, accusing the Zionist regime of war crimes and denying Israeli claims that Iran targets civilian areas, asserting Iran only attacks military targets. Meanwhile, Israeli academic and research institutions have suffered severe disruptions due to ongoing conflict, with many personnel killed or displaced. On the front lines, Israel has continued targeted killings of senior terrorist leaders linked to Hamas and Hezbollah, groups aligned with Iran, aiming to neutralize threats near its borders despite an ongoing ceasefire. These developments underscore the deepening and multifaceted nature of the conflict between Israel and Iran, involving military strikes, political rhetoric, and proxy confrontations.
