Sources from the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah confirmed to Al Mayadeen that the Nevatim, Hatzerim, and Ramon air bases were rendered inoperable due to the massive ballistic missile strikes launched by Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) on Tuesday night.
Operation True Promise 2
The IRGC's operation has been declared "Operation True Promise 2", after its antecedent "Operation True Promise", during which an unprecedented drone and missile attack was launched at "Israel" from Iran in April, in response to the Israeli assassination of its officials and aggression on its embassy in Damascus.
In a second statement, the IRGC confirmed that military bases were targeted: Nevatim, Hatzerim, and a list of other military targets came under attack.
#Iran carried out Operation True Promise 2, the Islamic Republic's unprecedented attack on "Israel" in retaliation against the Israeli assassinations of Ismail Haniyeh, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and Nilforoushan.

In detail, the Nevatim base houses the F-35 fighter jets, and the Hatzerim base houses the F-15 fighter jets used to assassinate martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. The IRGC affirmed that the latter was targeted in response to the assassination of Hezbollah's martyred leader.
Additionally, at least 90% of Iran's ballistic missiles and projectiles launched from its first wave toward occupied Palestinian territories struck their targets, according to the IRGC's second statement.
The attack also successfully hit gas platforms near the occupied city of Askalan, according to Tasnim News Agency.
Footage was also released from some of the missile launching platforms used in the operation on Tuesday, which came in response to the assassinations of Palestinian Resistance leader martyr Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah leader martyr Sayyed Nasrallah, and IRGC commander Abbas Nilforoushan.
