Iran's recent missile strike against Israeli military targets resulted in the destruction of a major number of Israeli F-35 fighter jets, revealed Brigadier General Ebrahim Jabbari, an advisor to the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).

Speaking at a conference in Tehran on Wednesday, he stated that 90% of the missiles launched during Iran's Operation True Promise II on October 1 successfully struck their designated targets.

Jabbari pointed out that, in addition to the missile strike, the IRGC simultaneously conducted cyber and electronic warfare operations aimed at the Israeli regime's air defense systems, enabling missiles to achieve direct hits on critical targets.

The general further indicated that Iran’s ballistic missiles targeted key Israeli military bases and F-35 hangars, resulting in the destruction of several warplanes.

He highlighted that "Israel" and the United States were taken by surprise despite deploying advanced defense measures to prevent the Iranian strike.

Iran's missile strike on October 1 was in retaliation for the Israeli assassination of Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and IRGC General Abbas Nilforoushan.

Operation True Promise II saw Iran launching at least 200 ballistic missiles against Israeli military and intelligence facilities across the occupied Palestinian territories.

The missiles fired by the IRGC's Aerospace Force targeted strategic Israeli military sites, including three air bases in Tel Nof, Nevatim, and Hatzerim. 

The IRGC confirmed in a statement that the missile attacks targeted "three military bases" around Tel Aviv, as well as air and radar bases, adding that "90 percent" of the missiles "hit their targets."

According to the IRGC, the Nevatim base houses the F-35 fighter jets, while the Hatzerim base houses the F-15 fighter jets that were used to assassinate martyr Sayyed Nasrallah.

Satellite images published by the Associated Press (AP) showed the damage to the Nevatim base as a result of the Iranian strikes. The images, taken after the Iranian operation, show a large hole in the roof of a row of buildings near the main runway, while large pieces of debris can be seen scattered around the building.

The statement warned that if "Israel" acts in response to Operation True Promise II, "it will face violent consequences."

Although the Israeli occupation regime has threatened to respond, Iranian officials have warned that any further action would be met with a harsh, proportional, and calculated response from Tehran.
