The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on Monday the launch of the 21st wave of Operation True Promise 3, in response to the ongoing crimes of the Israeli occupation, involving advanced ballistic missiles and smart drone systems.

In statement No. 17, the IRGC confirmed the use of Kheibar (Qadr H) multi-warhead ballistic missiles for the first time. These missiles were launched using new and unexpected tactical methods aimed at delivering more precise, destructive, and effective strikes.

In one of the most extensive and prolonged missile barrages, #Iran launched an estimated 15 ballistic missiles toward "Israel" in successive waves over 40 minutes, triggering widespread sirens and forcing Israeli settlers into shelters.

According to the IRGC, strategic targets across the entirety of the occupied territories, from north to south and central areas, were struck during this latest wave.

Iran warns of intensified operations

The remainder of Statement No. 17 stressed that operations would continue with greater force and enhanced destructive capacity, employing new special tactics designed to exploit the weak points in the enemy’s air defense systems.

It also noted that Iranian drone combat missions would continue without interruption during daylight hours, forcing the settlers to remain in shelters in fear.

In its concluding remarks, the IRGC declared, “We will continue our comprehensive national defense until the complete removal of the Israeli entity.”

Salvoes of missiles trigger Israeli sirens

A series of ballistic missile barrages launched from Iran on Monday triggered widespread air raid sirens across "Israel", forcing settlers into shelters amid one of the most extensive alert operations in recent years.

Fars News Agency reported, citing informed sources, that the Iranian Armed Forces deployed the Kheibar-Shekan, Emad, Ghadr, and Fattah missiles in their attacks on the Israeli entity today, with Israeli media putting the total number of missiles launched on "Israel" thus far at 550. 

Within just 40 minutes, "Israel's" Home Front Command detected three successive missile barrages incoming from Iran. The first targeted northern occupied Palestine, the second was aimed at Tel Aviv, al-Quds, and Askalan, while the third focused on Israeli settlements surrounding Gaza.

An Israeli Army Radio correspondent characterized the assault as “a series of Iranian missile waves striking broad areas of Israeli territory.”

The first alarms were activated in northern areas, particularly in towns near the occupied Palestinian-Lebanese border. Israeli authorities instructed settlers to seek shelter immediately and remain inside until further notice, as per Israeli media.

Shortly after, the Israeli occupation confirmed a second missile salvo and warned that additional sirens would soon be heard in central regions. As predicted, alerts were triggered across al-Quds and various southern areas.

Furthermore, Israeli media reported that an aircraft en route to Ben Gurion Airport was diverted due to the developments.

Iranian missiles hit multiple sites across occupied Palestine

Israeli media reported that Iranian missiles struck at least seven separate locations throughout occupied Palestine, including the foothills region separating the coastal plains to the west and the mountains of al-Khalil, northern areas, and the south. One of the strikes reportedly hit a strategic facility in the southern region, though full details are still emerging.

Palestinian sources confirmed that a missile caused damage to a power station in Isdud, highlighting one of the most severe infrastructure disruptions.

Channel 12 also referenced frustrations among settlers over apparent technical failures in the Home Front Command's alert system, stating that “the warnings don’t always arrive before the launches.” The network advised residents to “stay updated through media outlets.”

A circulating footage online depicted Israeli occupation soldiers hiding under a bridge as air raid sirens sounded after the launch of Iranian missiles.

Iranian missile strikes disrupt power near strategic facility in Southern 'Israel'

Preliminary assessments by the IOF indicated that around 15 ballistic missiles were launched from Iran in successive waves over approximately 40 minutes, marking one of the lengthiest missile offensives of the current war.

Though no injuries have been officially reported so far, multiple impact sites have been confirmed.

Meanwhile, the Israeli Electric Corporation reported power outages in several southern towns due to a ballistic missile strike near what it called a "strategic infrastructure facility." In a statement, the company said, “Teams are on their way to several locations on the ground with the aim of restoring power supply as soon as possible. The operations include infrastructure repairs and the removal of safety hazards, and are being carried out in coordination with security forces.”

Later, the Israeli energy minister revealed that about 8,000 households were without power.

Knesset lawmakers flee to hide in bunkers

In occupied al-Quds, emergency protocols were activated as Knesset lawmakers suspended committee sessions and took cover. Sirens echoed through the area and its surroundings as multiple strikes were reported.

Medical teams responded to a reported ballistic missile impact near Isdud, while further sirens were heard in the North amid renewed missile launches.

Air raid sirens are sounding again in the center, north, and south of "Israel", including HaShfela all the way to occupied #AlQuds, after salvoes of missiles were detected to have been launched toward the aforementioned occupied Palestinian territories.

The IOF stated that air defense systems had been activated to intercept the incoming missiles. 

The nature of the attack, involving multiple barrages in quick succession, suggests a coordinated, multi-phase offensive by Iran.
