TEHRAN – The Islamic Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) launched multiple waves of ballistic missiles in occupying areas on Friday night after Israel killed dozens of civilians, military authorities and nuclear scientists on strikes across Iran.
In a statement, the IRGC said Iranian armed coercion was able to strike the foundations of dozens of military and spying in the occupying territories. “The satellite imagery and intelligence indicate that dozens of strategic sites have been successfully targeted despite claims of enemy intercept,” the statement read.
The footage taken by Israeli residents also causes damage in multiple locations in Tel Aviv. Haifa’s port was also targeted. Iranian officials said a new wave of attacks will be launched by the region’s allied resistance forces in the coming hours.
Reports show that the US, France, the UK and NATO have helped Israel to stop Iranian missiles, but their efforts have not reached expectations.
The attack coincided with a speech by the leaders of the Islamic Revolution, where Ayatollahs made Ali Khamenei aay, and vowed that Iranian troops would “put Israel ineffective.” “Undoubtedly, the Islamic Republic’s army will take a major blow to the evil enemy,” the leader declared.
Before the operation, IRGC chief Mohammad Pakpur warned that Iranian retaliation would open Israel’s “doors of hell” and described the strike as “suffering and painful.” Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bakar Kalibah argued that the Zionist regime had launched a conflict, but Iran would decide that conclusion.
A senior IRGC official told Iranian media that Israel should take further hostile actions against private sites.
Apart from the residential buildings, Iran’s major nuclear facility in central Esfahan, named Natanz, was also attacked multiple times by Israel throughout the day on Friday. The administration seems unable to penetrate the hardened underground structures, but some damage has been reported on the ground.
At least two Israeli F-35 fighter jets have been collapsed by Iran’s air defense system. One pilot was captured.
