Israeli strike kills three at checkpoint in Iran’s Isfahan province

An Israeli projectile hit a checkpoint in the central Iranian city of Kashan this morning, killing at least three people and injuring four others, according to the Mehr news agency.

The outlet quoted Akbar Salehi, the deputy security chief for the governor of Isfahan province.

Local agencies Tasnim and ISNA also confirmed the deaths but did not provide additional information.

The reported strike adds to the rising toll from Israel’s ongoing assault on Iran, which has killed over 220 people so far, including at least 70 women and children.
