IDF hitting IRGC troop concentrations in Tehran
[MSN-IsraelTimes] The IDF said it struck dozens of Iranian regime infrastructure sites in Tehran and western Iran on Wednesday, and then launched an "extensive" wave of airstrikes on regime targets in the capital overnight, as US President Donald Trump said he didn't want to end the war "too early."...

During the earlier strikes in Tehran, fighter jets identified Iranian soldiers operating at a headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Iran’s capital, and moments later, struck and killed them, the Israel Defense Forces said, publishing footage of the strike.

According to the IDF, other strikes in Tehran targeted headquarters and command centers of the IRGC air force; a compound at Imam Hossein University, the IRGC’s military academy, which was used as a staging ground by Iranian soldiers; ballistic missile storage and production sites; and air defense missiles.

Elsewhere, the IDF struck headquarters and military bases of Iran’s internal security forces, the Basij paramilitary force, and a headquarters of Iran’s intelligence ministry, the military said.

According to the military, the strikes were part of a new stage of the war aimed at “deepening the blow to the core arrays of the Iranian terror regime and its foundations.”

As I guessed, the new phase of the war is anti-personnel strikes on street enforcers and IRGC goons not with 1,000 pound bombs but with hand-grenade-sized charges delivered by drones.
