An Iranian nuclear scientist was killed in an attack on a building in Tehran on Friday, Israeli state broadcaster KAN and other local media reported.
The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the reports.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said he had instructed the military to intensify attacks on "regime symbols" in the Iranian capital, with the aim of destabilizing it.
"We must strike all symbols of the regime and mechanisms of repression of the population, such as the Basij (militia) and the regime's power base, such as the Revolutionary Guard," Katz said in a statement.
The attack came a day after sources told The Jerusalem Post that the IDF was close to destroying half of Iran’s ballistic missile launchers. Such statistics could be very important because there is a potential tipping point around 50-70% of Iranian launchers being damaged, where, even if the Islamic Republic still has 15,000 ballistic missiles left, it will not be able to launch more than 10-30 at a time.
That same day, the White House said President Donald Trump would make a decision on whether the US would become involved in the Israel-Iran conflict within the next two weeks.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister warned against any direct US involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran, saying Iran had "all necessary options on the table."
Around the same time as the drone strike in Tehran was reported, a rocket was identified passing through northern Gaza on Friday and fell in an open area near Kibbutz Be'eri, the IDF said.
The military noted that there were no injuries and sirens were sounded in accordance with protocol.
