For the second day, air raid sirens sounded across the occupied Palestinian territories on Saturday evening following missile launches from Iran, as the Zionist Home Front Command instructed settlers to remain in shelters.
The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps announced that their Aerospace forces launched a new complex operation, involving both drones and missiles.
The IRGC’s Aerospace forces used Imad, Badr, and Khaybar missiles and drones in its latest attacks on Tel Aviv and Haifa, launching a wave of attacks as part of Operation True Promise 3.
Zionist media confirmed that the Iranian missiles targeted facilities in Haifa, in the north of occupied Palestine, where loud explosions were heard across the city after several rockets struck. Fires reportedly broke out across different facilities in Haifa, including oil refineries.
The sound of air raid sirens was concentrated in Haifa and its surrounding areas, with alarms activated in the Karyot region north of the city as well as in its southern districts, while sirens also blared in al-Nasira and nearby areas, including Afula, Upper al-Jalil, and Western al-Jalil.T
The new wave of ballistic missiles was launched toward the occupation entity from multiple provinces across Iran.
Iranian state television reported that Iran had launched 100 missiles toward the occupation entity, adding that Iran’s air force was carrying out a combined attack using both ballistic missiles and drones.”
Reports claim that this is the largest Iranian missile attack targeting the occupied territories, emphasizing that information suggests that Tehran is using a new type of missile in its operation.
A massive Iranian drone and missile offensive also struck deep into occupied Palestine, with air raid sirens sounding repeatedly across various cities and settlements amid fears of continued infiltration by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as Iran continued its retaliation as part of Operation True Promise 3.
Multiple Iranian projectiles scored direct hits on central Tel Aviv, resulting in significant destruction, injuries, and widespread panic.
Zionist media reported that at least six sites in “Tel Aviv” were struck directly by Iranian missiles, including a high-rise tower in the greater Tel Aviv area, causing extensive damage and fires. In Bat Yam, an occupied city just south of Tel Aviv, heavy destruction was reported following direct impacts from Iranian missiles, with dozens of buildings damaged and flames engulfing several structures.
Meanwhile, emergency services have updated the casualty toll from the strikes on Bat Yam and Rehovot. In Bat Yam, 130+ people were injured and 7 killed at the time of this writing. Over 35 people were reported as being stuck under the rubble. In Rehovot, 28 were injured, including two seriously and seven moderately.
The Magen David Adom reported a severe shortage of blood units, calling for urgent blood donations among settlers in the wake of the Iranian strikes.
The Zionist emergency services reported that firefighting teams were operating in Gush Dan in central occupied Palestine as well as occupied al-Quds in a bid to extinguish the fires started by the Iranian missiles.
According to Zionist media, sirens were sounded in Bisan four times in just a few hours, following alerts of potential drone incursions. Simultaneously, residents in the Afula area south of Lake Tabarayya reported hearing explosions after Zionist warplanes scrambled to intercept drones approaching from the east.
Iranian drones swarm the occupation
One Iranian drone reportedly crashed near Afula, while additional UAVs were detected flying across occupied northern and central areas. Zionist media confirmed that sirens were also triggered in settlements south of Lake Tabarayya, as well as in Asdod, Beit Yam, and Rehovot, amid fears of further drone and missile attacks.
Explosions were heard between Netanya and Tel Aviv, with massive blasts reportedly shaking the heart of Tel Aviv itself. Reports indicate direct hits on residential buildings, with Iranian missiles striking Bat Yam and igniting fires, as well as Rehovot in central occupied Palestine.
In what Zionist commentators described as a “composite attack,” Iran deployed both ballistic missiles and kamikaze drones in synchronized waves, severely testing the occupation’s air defenses and crisis response systems and essentially spreading them thin.
At the same time, air raid sirens have been sounding almost continuously in various settlements and cities, as Iranian drones remain active in the airspace of several areas in the occupied territories. According to one Zionist media platform, “Yemen appears to be participating in the assault.”
It seems clear Yemen was firing drones and ballistic missiles in tandem.
Iran missile barrage sets fire to Weizmann Institute lab
The Weizmann Institute of Science, one of the occupation’s leading research centers, sustained damage during Iran’s missile barrage targeting central Palestine, according to The New York Times. Images shared with the paper show at least one laboratory building engulfed in flames.
Iran’s Fars News Agency has disclosed the type of missiles used in the latest round of retaliatory strikes launched by the Islamic Republic against the occupation, confirming that the projectiles were equipped with high-explosive warheads designed for precision targeting.
According to the report published Sunday, the IRGC employed tactical guided ballistic missiles in the recent attack on Tel Aviv. The missiles were identified as belonging to the Hajj Qassem class, named after the martyred commander Hajj Qassem Soleimani. These missiles are solid-fueled and highly maneuverable, making them difficult to intercept and ideal for striking specific military and strategic targets.
Fars emphasized that the warheads carried by the Hajj Qassem missiles were specially designed high-explosive payloads, used to maximize the destructive effect on carefully selected targets deep within occupied territories.
Palestinian Resistance continues attacks
The military wing of Hamas, al-Qassam Brigades, released new combat footage documenting targeted operations as part of its ongoing campaign titled David’s Stones, including a direct strike on a Merkava tank in southern Khan Younis.
According to the footage, fighters used a Yassin-105 anti-tank shell to target the tank near Abu Sharakh junction, amid continued confrontations with occupation forces along various axes of incursion. The video also showed mortar attacks on Zionist troop concentrations in multiple areas of Gaza.
In a separate operation documented by al-Qassam, fighters reportedly destroyed a bulldozer, a Bagger, using a powerful improvised explosive device (IED) in the Tel al-Zaatar area, east of Jabalia refugee camp, on May 29. The group said the blast killed the vehicle’s operator, confirming the outcome after the fighters returned safely from the combat zone.
Occupation comes under deadly ambush
Al-Qassam also revealed footage of a complex ambush carried out in al-Atatra, Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza. The operation targeted a unit barricaded inside a house, striking the site with a TBG shell, reportedly causing casualties among the Israeli force.
In the same engagement, Resistance fighters also hit another Merkava tank with a Yassin-105 and detonated an IED under a D9 bulldozer, destroying its turret and injuring its crew.
Separately, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, al-Quds Brigades, published footage of their own operation north of Khan Younis, where a military vehicle was blown up using an IED assembled from repurposed remnants of Israeli weaponry.
Al-Quds Brigades also confirmed they had detonated a minefield targeting a Zionist sapper unit east of Khan Younis on Thursday, adding to the growing number of tactical strikes against advancing occupation forces.
One Zionist soldier was killed and another was wounded in clashes with the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza on Saturday, according to Israeli media.
Occupation media reported on Saturday that an occupation soldier was killed and another critically wounded during clashes in Gaza, describing it as a “serious security incident,” as battles continue across the Strip.
This comes as Palestinian Resistance fighters continue their operations across Gaza, launching ambushes and inflicting casualties upon occupation troops.
Days earlier, the occupation army admitted that four soldiers were wounded in two separate incidents during clashes in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.
