The strike came just hours before Israel and Iran accepted a ceasefire proposal brokered by US President Donald Trump, ending a 12-day conflict.
Israel also targeted roads near Iran’s Fordow enrichment facility and struck Evin prison, known for holding political prisoners.
Iranian retaliation included missile strikes on Israeli cities and a US base in Qatar. The ceasefire is now in effect, though tensions remain high.
