The attacks in Iraq’s Kurdistan Region capital of Erbil were confirmed by the local security council, which said that at least four civilians were killed and six others were injured, some of whom were listed in unstable condition.

The IRGC said it had struck Mossad headquarters with ballistic missiles in what it framed as retaliation over ‘the plot of the Israeli regime’s spy agency hatched to assassinate Iranian and resistance commanders,’ the Islamic Republic News Agency reported.
