Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on Thursday at dawn the launch of the 19th wave of Operation True Promise 4, describing it as a joint attack involving missiles and drones.
At night, the IRGC announced that it launched wave 20 of Operation True Promise 4, with drones and missiles heading for Tel Aviv, including Kheybar Shekan fragmentation warheads.
Israeli media reported that missiles were launched from Iran toward the central region and the occupied al-Quds in occupied Palestine and US bases in the region, coinciding with sirens sounding across wide areas.
According to Israeli media, Iranian missile strikes reportedly caused casualties among US troops.
The Israeli Home Front Command said sirens were first activated in the central region, then in 143 settlements in the Gush Dan area, before expanding to 194 settlements in the same region.

Israeli media also reported hearing explosions in Tel Aviv and very loud blasts across the central region, noting that 15 to 20 explosions were heard, likely caused by missiles possibly equipped with cluster munitions.
Additional reports indicated interception attempts over Bnei Brak, along with further explosions in the Gush Dan region and continued loud blasts across central areas.
An Israeli media outlet said eight missiles were launched from Iran in two waves. Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Magen David Adom said paramedics and medics were dispatched to treat people injured while heading to protected areas.
According to Israeli media reports, some of the missiles launched by Iran overnight were advanced hypersonic missiles.
IRGC strikes Ministry, Ben Gurion airport
Earlier, the IRGC announced on Wednesday that it carried out the 18th wave of Operation "True Promise 4," striking strategic targets at the Israeli Ministry of Security building and Ben Gurion Airport.
The statement claimed that by destroying more than seven advanced radar systems, the "eye of the United States and the Zionist entity in the region has been blinded."
It added that nonstop sirens and residents’ prolonged sheltering across the occupied territories over the past 100 hours reflect the sustained pace of Iranian missile strikes in pursuit of "severe revenge" against terrorist criminals.
