Iranian missiles were launched toward the occupied Palestinian territories on Tuesday afternoon, according to Israeli media, as the Israeli war on Iran escalates. 

Channel 14 reported that a large barrage of rockets was fired from Iranian territory toward various sites in the occupied territories. Air raid sirens sounded across multiple areas, including the greater Tel Aviv area and occupied al-Quds, as settlers scrambled for cover.

The Israeli emergency services announced that four people were injured while rushing to protected shelters amid the barrage.

In a notable development, Israeli media confirmed that US-supplied THAAD missile defense systems were activated to intercept incoming Iranian missiles, marking one of the first reported uses of the American system in actively securing the occupied Palestinian airspace.

Iran bombards Israeli intelligence centers

Simultaneously, the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) issued its eighth official statement regarding Operation True Promise 3. In the statement, the IRGC announced that its Aerospace Force had successfully targeted two major intelligence centers: the Aman military intelligence headquarters of the Israeli occupation forces, and a facility belonging to the Mossad specializing in assassination planning and covert operations.

Despite the deployment of advanced air defense systems, the IRGC emphasized that the strike was executed with precision, as its Aerospace Force has been successful in penetrating the fortified airspace.

IRGC vows continued precision strikes

Earlier, in its sixth official communique, the IRGC affirmed that the advanced technologies and capabilities deployed in today's operation have allowed for precise and successful strikes deep inside the Israeli entity.

The statement emphasized that the IRGC’s aerospace forces had accurately hit their intended targets, describing the strikes as part of a broader campaign to degrade the Israeli occupation’s vital infrastructure.

Reaffirming its intent to sustain military pressure, the IRGC declared that “impactful, effective, and destructive operations” would continue, specifically targeting what it described as critical nodes within the Israeli military and intelligence apparatus.

The escalating campaign is part of True Promise 3, an ongoing military operation the IRGC says is powered by advanced missile technology and precision strike capabilities, enabling deep penetration into occupied territory with increasing lethality.

IRGC advisor: Iran ready for prolonged war

Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi, senior advisor to the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), stated on Tuesday that the new-generation missiles used in recent operations represent only a fraction of Iran’s broader arsenal of modern military capabilities.

Speaking to Iranian media, General Vahidi dismissed reports suggesting Iran's missile reserves are running low. “The idea of a depleted missile stockpile is laughable; we haven’t even begun to use our missile capabilities strategically,” he said.

Vahidi emphasized that Iran possesses a wide range of advanced weaponry and will deploy it “whenever we deem it appropriate,” reaffirming Tehran’s readiness to escalate if necessary.

He also stressed that Tehran is not concerned about the prospect of a prolonged war, signaling growing confidence in Iran’s strategic depth and military preparedness amid intensifying confrontation with the Israeli occupation.
