The Zionist regime was pounded from many different sides today, marking a historic assault on the occupation.
Sirens have sounded all over occupied Palestine as Iranian media announced Tuesday that the Iranian response to Zionist aggression had started.
Dozens of missiles have reportedly hit their designated target, with reports indicating that over 200 missiles and projectiles had been launched from Iran toward the occupied Palestinian territories.
The IRGC released a statement following the launch of the response, saying “We have targeted the heart of the occupied territories in response to the assassination of martyrs Haniyeh, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and Nilforooshian.”
The statement further said, warning the regime, “If the Zionist regime retaliates to the Iranian operation, it will face violent consequences.”
Operation True Promise 2
The IRGC’s operation has been declared “Operation True Promise 2”, after its antecedent “Operation True Promise”, during which an unprecedented drone and missile attack was launched at the regime from Iran in April, in response to the Israeli assassination of its officials and aggression on its embassy in Damascus.
In a second statement, the IRGC confirmed that three military bases in Tel Aviv were targeted: Nevatim, Hatzerim, and the Tel Nof Airbase.
In detail, the Nevatim base houses the F-35 fighter jets, and the Hatzerim base houses the F-15 fighter jets used to assassinate Martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. The IRGC affirmed that the latter was targeted in response to the assassination of Hezbollah’s martyred leader.
Additionally, at least 90% of Iran’s ballistic missiles and projectiles launched from its first wave toward occupied Palestinian territories struck their targets, according to the IRGC’s second statement.
The attack also successfully hit gas platforms near the occupied city of Askalan, according to Tasnim News Agency.
Iraqi Resistance warns US, Zionist regime against attack
The Iraqi Resistance’s coordination committee released a statement after Iran’s response, warning US forces that if they were to intervene in a strike on Iran, or if the entity were to use Iraqi airspace to execute any strikes against Iran, then all US bases and interests in Iraq and the region would become legitimate targets.
NYT: Iran may have fired ballistic missiles
According to a New York Times report, the time that the first missile took to strike the regime (less than 15 minutes) seems to suggest that ballistic missiles were fired.
Similarly, The Washington Post reported the explosions multiple waves of sirens and multiple explosions, including a huge boom, could be heard from Tel Aviv. The explosions, at least 20 of them, sound like heavy warheads exploding — very different from the more familiar sound of air defenses intercepting Palestinian rockets.
In this context, Iran’s IRIB news agency reported that the IRGC used the Fattah hypersonic missile in its attack. The Fattah reportedly pierced the Israeli anti-missile shield, which consists of Arrow-2 and Arrow-3 anti-ballistic missiles.
According to the New York Times, which cited the White House, US President Biden and VP Kamala Harris were following up on the Iranian response against “Israel” from the White House operations room. Biden ordered the army to “defend Israel against Iranian strikes and to down the missiles targeting Israel.”
Occupation forces and the Red Alert service indicated that sirens were activated all over the entity, with settlers being ordered to head to bomb shelters and chaos seen as prevailing in the streets all over occupied palestine.
Palestinian fighters open fire on settlers
Several settlers have been killed and dozens more injured after two armed Palestinians opened fire in central Tel Aviv, Zionist media reported.
An unfinalized toll indicates that eight settlers were killed and at least 25 others were injured, with several in critical and moderate conditions.
Reime media described the shooting operation, which was documented across several areas in Tel Aviv, as a “dangerous” operation carried out by two Palestinian fighters using machine guns, at a train station in al-Quds street in occupied Yafa.
Yedioth Ahronoth and paramedics initially reported three fatalities and seven injuries at the time of the incident.
Channel 12 stated that the individuals who carried out the attack opened fire on settlers waiting for buses in Tel Aviv.
For its part, the Zionist Broadcasting Authority reported, citing a source within the occupation police, that estimates indicate that the shooting was an attack carried out by a Palestinian.
At least one has been martyred, reports alleged.
At the same time, while the operation to track down the shooters in Tel Aviv is still ongoing, it was announced that Iran has begun launching missiles from its territory at the regime.
Hezbollah launches attacks
The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah continues to closely monitor and strike the movements of occupation forces near the Palestinian-Lebanese border while conducting long-range strikes on central city settlements in occupied Palestine.
On Tuesday, Resistance fighters in Lebanon conducted a series of operations in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza and in defense of Lebanon.
The attacks included a wide range of strikes near the Zionist line of withdrawal from South Lebanon, specifically on key areas that Zionist ground forces have taken as a launching pad for attacks on the country.
It is worth noting that the military command has announced that two zones, one at the eastern extremities of the Western al-Jalil, between Dovev and Malkiyah, and the other at the northern extremities of the al-Jalili Panhandle, which includes the Metulla settlement, have been declared military zones. The command has also ordered an additional four reserve brigades to the Northern Front, as it continues to threaten a ground invasion against Lebanon.
For a clearer picture of the battlefield, occupation forces from the 98th Division and the 7th Armored Brigade have been operating near the border since Monday night, however, no advancements have been recorded since. Instead, Hezbollah fighters struck the movements of Zionist units using a variety of weapons.
The Islamic Resistance also announced its first two attacks of “Operation Khaibar,” which come in the context of the regime’s assassination of the great Resistance leader martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
The first operation saw Hezbollah fighters fire salvos of Fadi-4-type rockets at the Glilot base, the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 8200, located in the suburbs of Tel Aviv.
The second operation saw Hezbollah fire a salvo of Fadi-4 rockets at the Sde Dov Airport, an airstrip used for both military and civilian purposes by the regime near Tel Aviv.
Sirens rang across dozens of settlements and neighborhoods in the Gosh Dan area and several rockets impacted their targets.
In an operation that came in response to the wide-scale aggression on Lebanese territory, Hezbollah fighters fired a salvo of rockets at the Ilaniya base, precise hits to their intended targets in the site positions between the lake of Tabaraya and the occupied city of al-Nasirah.

In these series of defensive operations, Hezbollah fighter showcased their continuous presence near the frontlines, despite the continuous attacks, as well as their operational readiness to confront any Israeli maneuvers. Fighters were also able to conduct precise attacks on ground forces across all four active Israeli axes of advancement.
It is worth noting that amidst Hezbollah’s operations near the border, Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) conducted a wide-scale missile attack on military sites, airbases, storage units, and radars across Israeli-occupied territories. The attacks came in response to the crimes, which include the assassination of Palestinian leader martyr Ismail Haniyeh in northern Tehran and the assassination of Resistance leader martyr Sayyed Nasrallah and IRGC Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan in Beirut’s suburbs.
Yemen launches qualitative assaults
In support of the Lebanese and Palestinian people and their Resistance, and in response to the US-UK aggression against Yemen, the naval, missile, and UAV forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out three military operations, announced spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree on Tuesday.
The first operation targeted the Cordelia Moon British oil tanker in the Red Sea using eight ballistic and cruise missiles, a drone, and an uncrewed surface boat, resulting in severe damages.
The second and third operations targeted the Marathopolis tanker in the Indian Ocean for violating the maritime ban imposed by the YAF on ships sailing in the designated operations zone toward the occupied ports of Palestine.
The Marathopolis was first struck with a winged missile, then with a drone. Saree noted that a direct hit was achieved.
Saree pledged that the YAF would continue carrying out their military operations and would not break the naval blockage against the Israeli enemy until all aggression on Lebanon and Gaza stops, and the blockade on Gaza is lifted.
Earlier on Tuesday, the UAV force of the YAF struck an Israeli military target in occupied Yafa (Eilat) using a Yafa-type drone, as well as other military targets in occupied Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat) with four Samad-4 drones, pointing out that the two operations achieved their objectives precisely.
