Iran says Israeli strike in western province kills two emergency workers

An Israeli airstrike on Saturday morning hit a site near the city of Asadabad in Iran’s western Hamadan province, killing two emergency workers and wounding five others, Iranian officials said.

Hamzeh Amraei, a senior local official, said the victims were part of an emergency response team caught in the strike.

Israel’s N12 News earlier reported the strike targeted ballistic missile launchers in the area believed to pose a threat to Israel.

The deputy political and security governor of Hamadan told Tasnim News Agency that five people were killed in the attack. He added there have been no reports of further strikes on Noje Airbase or Sobashi radar installations.
