Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) announced late Monday night the launch of the ninth wave of Operation True Promise 3, affirming that the attacks would continue uninterrupted until dawn on Tuesday.
According to Iran’s Tasnim news agency, a new wave of Iranian missile strikes was launched toward the occupied Palestinian territories in response to Israeli aggression.
