Packed with politicians, journalists and artists/ Attacks continue, Israel bombs

The Israeli military struck the entrance to Iran's notorious Evin prison on Monday, according to the Israeli defense minister and Iranian state media, as part of another attack on the capital Tehran.

Footage released by Iranian state broadcaster IRIB and verified by CNN shows a large cloud of black smoke covering the entrance to Evin prison. According to IRIB, the video shows "the moment the entrance gate" of the prison was hit.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed in a statement that Evin prison was among the targets hit, along with several other buildings, including the main headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the headquarters of the Basij (the IRGC's paramilitary wing), and the symbolic clock in Tehran's Palestine Square, which counts down the time to the "destruction of Israel."


Security forces at Evin Prison are known for serious human rights violations. Political activists, journalists and musicians are among the prisoners who have served their sentences at the institution.
