🇮🇱l🇮🇷 The damage caused by the strike will be revealed in time, the IDF says, adding that Iran has paid a price for its attacks on Israel.

The IDF is holding an assessment now on a potential Iranian response to the attack.

✍If Israel indeed hit that many targets, then it means Iran paid a higher material toll then Israel paid last time.

Not retaliating and dismissing, with damages if they occured, will erode the deterrence badly.

Especially that Israel's attacks are less noisy

🇮🇷 Official statement by the Air Defense Forces of the Islamic Republic:

'Despite previous warnings by the Islamic Republic of Iran to the criminal and illegitimate Zionist regime to avoid any adventurous actions, this fake regime attacked parts of military installations in Tehran, Khuzestan and Ilam provinces this morning

The country's integrated air defense systems succeeded in intercepting and confronting this act of aggression. Limited damage was caused in a few places, and the dimension of this incident is being investigated.

In this regard, while calling on the people to maintain solidarity and calm, we request our dear citizens to follow the news related to these events through the national and official media and to not pay attention to the rumors of the enemy.'

🥀 According to an updated toll, 4 Iranian army soldiers from air defense units were martyred in the first Israeli attack overnight that targeted AD systems and bases

🇮🇱l🇮🇷 According to satellite photos, the Israeli army targeted several locations at Parchin base

📸 In addition to several at Khojir base near Tehran.

These are the of the important Iranian ballistic missile production facilities. Attacking them is an attack for the long run, to attempt to hinder their ability to produce enough to continue to be conventionally more able to attack Israel than vise versa

🇮🇱l🇮🇷 The base in Parchin was reported in Western media back in 2021 by Fabian Hinz.

Targeted buildings appear to be related to propellant mixing and casting. Meaning, Israel targeted a critical bottleneck in the missile production process.

This is similar to Israel's previous campaigns against missile production infrastructure in Syrian and Lebanon. The attack with suicide drones in Beirut a few years ago was targeting such components on the move

🇮🇱l🇮🇶 Israeli jets launched their air-launched ballistic missiles from over Iraq.

Boosters have been located in various areas there.

✍ Iraq owns U.S. made F-16 jets that could intercept Israeli-owned U.S. made F-16 jets. It's just when you buy American, you can't use it against America's best buddy, Israel

🇮🇱l🇮🇷 Three Israeli sources tell Barak Ravid 12 planetary mixers used to produce solid fuel for long-range ballistic missiles were attacked in Iran, as well as four S-300 air defense batteries in strategic locations that protected Tehran and nuclear and energy facilities.

(Hawk AD systems were also attacked)

A factory for drone production was also hit and a "symbolic" attack was carried out on a facility in Parchin where in the past activity for research and development of nuclear weapons was carried out

🇮🇷 The attack was condemned by Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE & Oman

UAE and KSA did not name Israel as the attacker.

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 Back to south Lebanon, the Israeli army announced they have attacked about 130 rocket launchers used throughout the past week.

Additionally, they located 3 unused launcher somewhere in south Lebanon, all mounted on vehicles and carrying up to 160 rockets.

📸 The Israeli enemy also releases footage of various airstrikes in south Lebanon, some being in Aitaroun town where the Israeli army is trying to operate and advance in.

📍This airstrike was located at 33° 6'55.98",35°27'52.22",Aitaroun

📸 Additionally, the Israeli army reported about the demolition of a large strategic underground facility in south Lebanon.

The system was between a mountain and valley, big enough to host dozens and was an important facility for any decision to attack the Galilee

The facility was abandoned because it was offensives not defensive. It took many years to build.

📸 It contained weapons and ammo to arm several groups of fighters, and food to last a few months underground

📸 From the weapons found. A lot unfortunately. These are Iranian armor piercing AK rounds.

📸 From the facility. It was located about last week during the Israeli advance and was only demolished today

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 About 400 tons of explosives were used to demolish it. It was away from the main village and in open lands with houses related to it.

The IDF produces explosives more than there is oxygen in the air.

📸 The 400 tons of explosives were enough to cause a near surface earthquake of 4.9

The facility reached about 40 m down in its deepest area.

📍The facility was close to the area the IDF operates in last week as mentioned before.

It is approximately located at 33°14'44.0"N 35°31'36.6"E outside the main town

📍An approximation. It was inside the very outskirts where only a few houses are there between a vast open land

📹 Footage obtained from social media of am Israeli soldier, boasting about the demolition of the small town of Ramiah

The town didn't include any tunnels, but it was destroyed as part of the general plan to demolish all signs of civilian near the Israeli border.
