Update: He was civilian
God damn. I hope one of them fail to explode and fall in the Resistance hands.
The Iranian media says in Sistan and Balochstan province 10 police officers that were on patrol were killed today by unknown gunmen.

By the way, how and where do you think they were targeted?
If I had to guess my answer would be that they were inside a command and control vehicle that had a radar and an anti-radiation missile hit them. Or maybe an optical AI-guided missile recognized the shape of their vehicle.
The Iranian media says number of Iran's Army (aka Artesh) soldiers who were martyred in the Israeli strike is now 4. All four of them were air defense systems operators.
Maybe there are injured personnel who are being treated, I haven't read much.
An Iranian telegram channel satirically posted a picture of a well known Iranian actor saying "an IRGC commander were martyred near an IRGC film studio, his name was Hajj Seyed Javad and was a missile General". Israeli telegram channels thought its real and are cheering.
Iran's Army (aka Artesh) have announced martyrdom of two soldiers which were killed by Israeli strike.
Also an Iranian newspaper, Asr Iran, wrote:
The fact that some internal sources have said that no damage has been done to Iran's military facilities and that all missiles fired from airplanes have been intercepted, is not true news; Israel has really been able to target some Iranian military centers, but it seems that the amount of destruction is low, regardless of the announcement by the official authorities.
One of the characteristics of an attack at night is that any explosions and fires can be seen from far distances with greater clarity. On the night of the attack, many Iranians across the country were awake and took videos of the affected areas with their phones in hand. None of these videos show a huge explosion and fire. Whereas if the explosions were serious, they would be clearly visible and could not be hidden.
If the missile silos were hit, "very, very terrible explosion sounds, from a single point, multiple times and at sub-second intervals" should have been heard, and its fiery effects could be seen from tens of kilometers away and for a long time. Such an image has never been seen. Even if it is assumed that the explosion of the silos is underground and does not have an external appearance, naturally the simultaneous underground explosions of tens and hundreds of rockets are recorded and published in real time by the seismic measuring devices that work at the global level. It turned out that there was no such thing.
Therefore, without shouting slogans, it should be accepted that Israel has hit several military targets in Iran, but the scope of destruction was limited, and this confirms the same theory that the recent attacks, rather than having a military aspect, had the task of transferring a verifiable political message; as if Tel Aviv have said to Tehran: As you reach us, we reach you, so it is better to be cautious towards each other and not to go further.
Woke up to our national TV blasting patriotic music, joking how Iranians ran to rooftops to watch the strikes unlike Zionists who stop their cars and run to shelters. The footages that the media here are showing is pretty similar to Iron Dome interceptions, tiny little explosions in sky. So basically, we have declared ourselves victorious.
Have to let the time and patience do its job and show what have actually happened and whether Israel end it here.
IRGC Gen. Jafari:
After the first Truthful Promise operation Israel targeted a point in Isfahan with several missiles.
He also said:
It is possible that Israel carry a small and limited strike in Iran. If they do something big they will certainly get a response many times worse.
And also:
Iran's response depends on the intensity of the enemy's attack. If they do something big they will certainly get a response many times worse. Such a matter has been announced and has been in our plans since long ago to deal with aggressions and conflicts, but I definitely and surely assure the people that The Zionists do not make a major and significant move, and whatever they do is nothing more than a desperate effort.

I kneel before Sinwar, the entire resistance seen him fight to the last moment along his men.
And indeed Israel's bank of low-risk high-award targets is shrinking, they will eventually reach a point where all the targets are Iranian.
Two days ago there was an interview with a high-ranking former IRGC official who was part of committee responsible for acquiring, building and modernizing weapons. He said:
No country is empty-handed. We have equipment that is far superior to nuclear bombs. The request of honorable parliamentarians to change the nuclear doctrine is right, but they do not know some matters, because not everyone knows these matters. These information are confidential, completely confidential. We can't reveal many things and the day may not be known. But if one day a direct war happens or the Americans enter directly, then they can and will understand. I will just point out and give a hint; when Trump wanted to reduce our oil exports to zero, some tactical operations happened.
I don't want to say who did it. But five oil tankers exploded in the port of Fujairah. What exploded? If it was in the sea, a torpedo would have hit them or gunboats, unknown boats or drones would have hit them. But they were hit in Fujairah port, which is almost the most secure port. They don't even know where they were hit. Two oil tankers were also attacked in the Oman Sea, when the Prime Minister of Japan came to Iran as Trump's envoy. By the way, both tankers were Japanese.
They need to do these sort of stuff to easy the pain of 24/7 rocket barrages that sends them to bunkers in and out.
I think the main goal of this is to test their defense system against Iranian missiles rather than protecting Israel.
The Last Supper: the Hezbullah's drone attack is a response to the Pagers incident
The "New York Post" newspaper chose a mocking headline, "Beep Beep Boom!", for the terrorist attack involving pagers. Users on the internet responded with a picture of Hezbullah's drone and Whizz_Whizz_Boom hashtag where the whizz is the sound of drones.
I'm too lazy to post the articles and their translation but you should know from Khamenei to top generals and commanders have been saying for a about week now that Iran is going retaliate against Israel. They say it will be much worse and the Resistance will participate in it.
