Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said three military bases in Israel’s capital Tel Aviv were targeted. Al Jazeera news.

According to Iranian state media, large-scale cyber attacks were carried out as well as missile strikes. The attack also used the new Fatah hypersonic ballistic missile for the first time.

The Israeli military said about 180 missiles were fired. Most of these have been prevented. However, this claim of Israel has been rejected by a senior official of Hezbollah.

According to the Al Jazeera report, the Hezbollah official said on condition of anonymity that the Iranian missile attack was successful and hit several Israeli military bases as planned.

The official also said that the rate of missile destruction by Israel’s defenses was “poor”. The attack caused casualties among the Israeli army. However, no casualties have been reported by Israel yet.

Iranian state television reported that some of the ballistic missiles fired by the IRGC also targeted Israeli tank fleets deployed in the Netzerim Corridor.

The Netzerim Corridor was established to divide northern Gaza from the south early in the Israeli military invasion of the besieged Gaza Strip last year. Many Israeli tanks are deployed there.

The IRGC said the attempted attack on the tank convoy was “successful” and that Israeli forces imposed extensive censorship to prevent the spread of the news. Aljazeera said that their claim could not be independently verified.
