TEHRAN -- Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said on Tuesday it had arrested more than 50 "terrorists and proxies" linked to Israel, and killed two others in the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan.

According to a statement published on IRGC's official news outlet Sepah News, the individuals were also affiliated with "terror groups" based in eastern Iran and were detained or killed in operations over the past two weeks.

Those individuals sought to destabilize the southern parts of Sistan and Baluchestan, and carry out sabotage operations to damage economic sectors and infrastructure, it said, adding that large quantities of weapons and ammunition, including American armaments, were seized from them.

On June 13, Israel launched major airstrikes on several areas in Iran, including nuclear and military sites, killing senior commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians. Iran responded with multiple waves of missile and drone attacks on Israel.

After 12 days of fighting, a ceasefire between Iran and Israel was reached on June 24.
