According to the public relations of this force, these two Basij members were killed early on Tuesday, November 28. Based on this report, the two Basij members were attacked by armed individuals while traveling in a 'private vehicle' from their workplace to their home. Hours later, the Quds Headquarters released images and names of the deceased, but no further details about this assassination have been provided.
