MEHR: Unknown gunman opened fire at people and law enforcement forces in the town of Izeh, in Iran’s southwestern province of Khuzestan on Wednesday night.
At least five people were martyred ( a child, a woman and three men) and 10 more wounded after terrorists, who had entered Izeh, opened fire at the central market of the town, according to an informed source.
The source said that following a call by anti-revolutionary groups on people to take to the streets, terrorists misused that opportunity and conducted the terror attack in the town of Izeh.

A number of police officers are also among the injured, he added, saying that some of the injured are in critical condition.
