Israel's military admitted on Tuesday to "collateral damage" taken by a synagogue in Tehran after Iran accused the country of destroying the place of worship. Iranian media reported on Tuesday that heavy damage was inflicted on a Tehran synagogue in an overnight airstrike targeting an Iranian military leader. "Reports were received that a nearby synagogue was also damaged in the strike. The IDF regrets the collateral damage to the synagogue and emphasizes that the strike was directed at a senior military target within the regime's armed forces," the IDF said in a statement about the strike. The strike is still reportedly under review and the IDF said it took measures to avoid civilian casualties. Video verified by the News Corp-owned Storyful showed a Jewish leader walking amongst the rubble of the synagogue.
Homayoun Sameh, a Jewish representative in the Iranian Parliament, blasted Israel over the strike:
"Unfortunately, during the Jewish holidays, the Israeli entity targeted us and did not even spare Jews in Iran, as it struck one of our old and sacred synagogues," he said.
Jews have lived in Iran for millenia and are now undergoing an aerial pogrom at the hands of fellow Jews.
Remarkable.
