More now on Israel's claim that it has assassinated Saeed Izadi, the Iranian commander whose killing we reported on earlier.
The head of Israel's military, Eyal Zamir, says Izadi's assassination is "a key point in the multi-front war".
Israel claims Izadi was instrumental in planning the October 7 attacks by Hamas on Israel in 2023.
"The blood of thousands of Israelis is on his hands," Zamir says in a statement. "This is a tremendous intelligence and operational achievement."

In Israel, officials respond to an Iranian strike on Beit She'an
We've had a flurry of updates on the Israel-Iran conflict this morning, so let's take stock of what's been happening:
In Iran
In Israel
Elsewhere, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard says she now believes Iran could build nuclear weapons "within weeks".
This is a change of tune for Gabbard after US President Donald Trump told reporters yesterday that she was "wrong" about there being no evidence that Iran is building a nuclear weapon.
Iran's internet connection will be restored at 20:00 local time (17:30 BST) on Saturday, state media reports.
It has been nearly three days since the government imposed a nationwide internet shutdown, cutting off the majority of Iran’s 91 million people from the outside world.
Iranian state media now reports that the cyberattacks that caused the internet to be shut off have been repelled.
The internet blackout in Iran has been described as “the worst” in the country’s already troubled history of internet control.
On Thursday, BBC's Ghoncheh Habibiazad reported that internet had been "very unstable" across Iran, making contacting friends and family very difficult.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says that Israel's attacks on Iran right before a new round of nuclear talks with the United States are aimed to "sabotage negotiations".
Speaking at a diplomatic conference in Istanbul, attended by Iran's foreign minister, Erdogan denounces Israel's "outright banditry", and accusing it of trying to destabilise the Middle East.
The Netanyahu government is proving it is the "most significant obstacle to peace in the region", the Turkish president says.
He adds: "The Netanyahu government actually aimed to undermine the negotiation process with its attacks on June 13."

If confirmed, the killings of Saeed Izadi - the commander responsible for links with Palestinian groups within the IRGC’s elite Quds Force - and Behnam Shahryari - the head of Unit 190, which handles the smuggling of weapons and funds to Iran’s proxies - mark a significant blow to the IRGC.
Izadi was targeted in an apartment in the Shia holy city of Qom and Shahryari targeted by a drone attack in his car on the road in Western Iran.
These strikes, following a series of assassinations of top Iranian military officials over the past week, highlight serious vulnerabilities within Iran’s intelligence services.
They also underscore the extent to which Israel's spy agency Mossad may have infiltrated the Iranian security apparatus.
Successfully targeting high-ranking officials who have strong protection within Iran requires both human intelligence on the ground and sophisticated electronic surveillance.
Years ago, former intelligence minister Ali Younesi revealed that then-president Hassan Rouhani had warned Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei that “Mossad is closer to us than our own ears” - a statement that now seems more relevant than ever.
The Israeli military says eight Iranian drones have flown into Israeli airspace over the course of just over one hour this morning.
Between 10:16 and 11:27 local time (08:16 and 09:27 BST), the IDF says it identified Iranian drones across the country, from Eliat on Israel's southern tip to the northern region bordering Syria.
According to the IDF, five of them were intercepted, while details of the remaining three are under review.
At least 430 people have been killed and 3,500 injured in Iran since the conflict began on 13 June, the Nour news agency reports, citing Iran's health ministry.
It's the first official update on Iran's death toll in days.
Previously, Iran's health ministry said on Sunday that at least 224 people had been killed, while a human rights group, the Human Rights Activists News Agency, put the unofficial death toll at 657 on Friday.

We've just been hearing from Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who tells reporters that his country "cannot go through negotiations with the US when our people are under bombardment".
He claims that "the US has been involved in the aggression since day one", though he does not provide evidence of this.
Speaking to reporters in Istanbul, where he is set to continue diplomatic talks, Araghchi warns that US involvement in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran would be "very very dangerous".
As a reminder, US President Donald Trump approved plans to attack Iran earlier this week but held off from strikes in case Iran agreed to abandon its nuclear programme.
The Iranian foreign minister says he is "absolutely ready for a negotiated solution for our nuclear programme".
In 2015, Iran agreed a long-term deal on its nuclear programme with a group of world powers after years of tension over the country's alleged efforts to develop a nuclear weapon.
Araghchi adds: "Diplomacy has worked in the past and can work again in the future. In order for us to come back to diplomacy the aggression must be stopped."
