FajrThe Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, announced on Sunday that two important Israeli military sites were targeted in Iran’s response.
According to Bagheri, the Israeli intelligence’s headquarters in “Mount Hermon,” and the Nevatim Airbase were destroyed in the operation carried out earlier today, dubbed Truthful Promise.
The first base provided “Israel” with information on the consulate in Damascus, while the F-35 used to carry out the strikes took off from the airbase.
Bagheri pointed out that the attack, which was carried out with ballistic and cruise missiles, “was planned to target the airbase from which the Israeli aircraft that attacked our consulate departed.”
“A considerable number of drones and cruise and ballistic missiles have been used in this operation with well-thought-out tactics and proper planning, as neither the Iron Dome nor the Zionist regime’s missile defense shield could take any significant action against this operation.”
“The operation’s purposes have been fulfilled,” the Bagheri declared.

He revealed that the Islamic Republic had the capacity to carry out a missile and drone strike that was “tens of times” larger, but chose not to launch a massive attack and limit it to a punitive operation.
“Their [Israeli] population and economic centers were not hit, so that the criminal and aggressive Zionist army would realize that their action won’t remain unanswered. We are definitely prepared to defend our soil and interests,” the army chief said.
