Israeli media reported that close to 150 missiles were fired from Esfahan, Iran, toward "Israel". It was later reported that a fire broke out in Tel Aviv near the Israeli Security Ministry after a missile achieved a direct hit, as the IRGC announced that the retaliatory strikes were conducted under Operation True Promise III.

At the same time, Israeli media reported that "massive explosions" were heard above a sensitive location in "Israel", and that several Israeli troops were wounded in the Nevatim military air base in the al-Naqab desert.

Al Mayadeen's sources reported that the missiles were fired from multiple bases across several cities and provinces, including Fars in the country’s southeast. 

Israeli Channel 12 reported that 200 to 300 missiles were launched in the Iranian attack, with impacts recorded in roughly nine locations across "Israel". Israeli media lamented that the entirety of "Israel" was under attack.

At least 50 settlers injured, one killed

More than 50 settlers were injured, some critically, in the Iranian attack involving ballistic missiles and drones that targeted wide areas across “Israel,” according to Israeli emergency services.

According to The New York Times, at least 40 people were injured in Tel Aviv and the surrounding areas, based on figures from three hospitals.

An Israeli media platform reported that a settler died due to wounds from the Iranian missile barrage.

Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in the occupied Palestinian territories reported that dozens remain trapped inside buildings struck by the Iranian attack in Tel Aviv.

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz stated that nine buildings were completely destroyed by Iranian missiles, while hundreds of other structures sustained damage in Ramat Gan, in central “Israel.”

Additionally, a 32-story building in Tel Aviv sustained damage and caught fire.

According to "Israel’s" Channel 12, some 300 Israelis whose homes were damaged in greater Tel Aviv were evacuated.

The Iranian missiles triggered sirens and air raid warnings across the occupied territories, with reports of missiles achieving direct hits on Haifa. Meanwhile, Israeli media reported several impacts in central occupied Palestine.

The Israeli Military Censor issued a directive not to take pictures and videos of the impact sites across the entity, while Israeli media described the situation as "unusual".

Israeli reports also highlighted that numerous areas in the occupied territories faced a power blackout as a direct result of the Iranian missiles.

The spokesperson for the IOF doubled down on the media blackout imposed by "Israel", calling on media channels to stop broadcasting footage of missile impact sites, while Israeli Channel 14 cited a security official as saying Iran was using this footage to assess the accuracy of its missiles.

Following the start of the operation, the IRGC released a statement saying, "Under the directives of the Revolution’s leader, a crushing and highly accurate response was carried out, striking dozens of military sites, strategic centers, and airbases in retaliation."

Simultaneously, the Iranian Army announced that air defense forces successfully shot down two Israeli F-35 fighter jets, noting, however, that the fate of the jets' two pilots remains unknown.

IRGC confirms attack on 'Israel'

The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that its missile strikes targeted key Israeli military installations in response to the recent Israeli aggression on Iranian territory, emphasizing that the attacks were precise and effective.

In a series of statements released by its Public Relations Department, the IRGC confirmed that it had struck Israeli military centers and air bases directly involved in attacks on Iran. Additionally, the IRGC stated that missile production facilities used by the Israeli army were among the designated targets.

"Testimonies and satellite imagery show that dozens of missiles hit their targets accurately," the IRGC said, adding that "the enemy failed to withstand the waves of missile attacks launched by the Islamic Republic of Iran."

Reaffirming Iran’s defensive posture, the IRGC stressed, "The security of the Islamic Republic of Iran is the red line for the armed forces," the statement read, signaling Iran’s readiness to respond to any future threats with equal or greater force.

Additionally, Major General Ahmad Vahidi stated that the primary targets of Operation True Promise 3 were three airbases located in different parts of the occupied Palestinian territories.

He confirmed that "Israel’s" Ministry of Security and military industrial centers were also targeted, noting that more than 150 targets were identified and the operation was carried out carefully in multiple phases.
