The IRGC announced the destruction of the “Mossad spy headquarters.”
As a result of a rocket attack on the city of Erbil, four civilians were killed and six more people were injured, the Kurdistan Regional Security Council reported.
According to them, the rockets were fired around 23:30 local time, and several civilian areas of the city came under attack. The Security Council notes that the IRGC “always uses unfounded justifications for attacks on Erbil, which has never been a source of threat to any side.”
“This is a blatant violation of the sovereignty of the Kurdistan Region and Iraq, and the federal government and the international community must not remain silent about this crime,” it said.
Deputy Speaker of the Kurdistan Region’s fifth parliament, Hemin Hawrami, wrote on microblog X that Peshraw Dizaiy’s house was damaged in the attacks, and he and four members of his family were killed.
As Rudaw writes, a famous Kurdish businessman and owner of the Falcon Group, which manages large projects such as Empire World, died when a missile hit his house. Meanwhile, the IRGC announced that it had destroyed the “Mossad spy headquarters” in Iraq.
