Speaking about the latest escalation, Israel Katz said the killing occurred during recent strikes. However, he did not provide further details about the operation or its location.
Israeli officials said the action formed part of ongoing military activity amid heightened tensions between Israel and Iran. They offered no additional evidence to support the claim.
Meanwhile, Iranian authorities have not issued any official statement in response. As a result, the report remains unconfirmed by independent sources.
Such claims have surfaced repeatedly during the current standoff between the two countries. In several past instances, initial reports were later clarified or disputed by officials or external sources.
The latest development comes as tensions between Israel and Iran continue to rise, increasing the risk of further escalation in the region.
