Iran Launches Fierce Strikes on Key Locations in Tel Aviv and Haifa Amid Intensified True Promise III Offensive
In the most intense stage of Operation True Promise III to date, Iranian long-range missiles penetrated various levels of Israeli air defenses early Wednesday morning, successfully striking and destroying targets throughout the occupied territories.
The most recent phase of the counter-operation, initiated late Friday night in response to Israel’s aggressive actions toward the Islamic Republic, began around 1:30 a.m. local time in Iran.
Amid stringent media restrictions attributed to the Israeli government, various social media platforms have circulated videos depicting the skies over Tel Aviv and Haifa illuminated by a flurry of advanced long-range missiles originating from Iran, reportedly penetrating Israel’s comprehensive missile defense systems.
A number of missiles, including some being deployed for the inaugural time, successfully struck their designated targets with accuracy, affecting military and intelligence facilities associated with the regime.
Photographs surfacing across social media channels depicted smoke and flames rising from multiple critical and strategic Israeli military intelligence sites.
Israeli media reports suggest discontent among settlers over the delayed activation of warning sirens by the ‘Home Command’, which they claim hindered timely access to underground bunkers for safety.
An Israeli Telegram channel has disseminated a video depicting Iranian missiles striking their intended targets. The channel urged viewers to observe and tally the number of interceptor missiles launched by the air defense system, noting that by the video’s conclusion, an Iranian missile successfully evades interception and reaches its targets.
Iranian military forces have been implementing a range of groundbreaking strategies to surpass the highly anticipated American-supported Israeli missile defense systems. These interceptors have consistently failed to neutralize missiles launched from Iran since June 13.
On Wednesday morning, missiles soared across the skies of the occupied West Bank, where Palestinians were observed celebrating as Iranian missiles directed their course towards Tel Aviv and Haifa.
According to a report published by the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, the most recent Iranian retaliatory operation is described as “unusual,” with significant loud explosions being reported in the occupied territories.
The eleventh phase of the operation commenced just hours following the announcement by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) that it had carried out retaliatory strikes on several Israeli military airbases located in the occupied territories during the tenth phase of True Promise III.
In a televised statement, an officer from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that airbases involved in recent acts of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran were targeted on Tuesday.
Prior to the most recent series of missile launches, Iran’s senior military leader issued a strict warning to Israel and its Western allies on Tuesday, stating that “punitive operations” against the Israeli regime are imminent.
In a televised address, Major General Sayyid Abdolrahim Mousavi, who has recently assumed the position of Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces, stated that the operations conducted since Friday have been intended as a deterrent warning. He further announced that genuine punitive actions are scheduled to be implemented in the near future.
Iran has declared resolutely that it will not yield to aggression, citing its historical resilience, and has vowed to hold the Zionist regime accountable for its actions. “God willing,” the declaration emphasized, retribution will follow for what has been labeled a savage act.
In response to unprovoked Israeli aggression that resulted in the loss of numerous senior military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians in Iran, retaliatory attacks were executed as part of the tenth phase of Operation True Promise III, initiated late Friday.
