Israeli military targets sections of Iran’s Evin Prison in Tehran, calls attack 'symbolic'

Tel Aviv/Tehran, June 23 (UNI) The Israeli military has launched airstrikes on the administrative, security, and courtroom sections of Tehran’s Evin Prison, a site widely seen as a symbol of political repression in the Islamic Republic, according Iran International.

The attack, described by the Israeli military as “symbolic", reportedly struck the main entrance and office facilities, while detention blocks housing prisoners remained intact.

While no casualties were reported in the said strike, the family members of the inmates have expressed great concern, with the IRGC’s official media Tasnim news stating that an electricity feeder in northern Tehran's Evin neighbourhood was hit, causing power cuts.

Israeli officials have previously stated their intent to strike elements and institutions associated with state repression.

On Monday, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said, "The IDF is now attacking regime targets and government repression bodies in the heart of Tehran with unprecedented force -- for every shot at the Israeli home front, the Iranian dictator will be punished and the attacks will continue with full force."

The incident follows a series of Israeli strikes in recent days on security installations, including a special forces command post and Iran’s cyber police headquarters.

Additionally, an Israeli missile strike targeted a technical building of Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB, known as the "9 Dey" facility, which manages the transmission of national TV channels 1 to 5, as well as educational and Quranic programming.
