TEHRAN – Sirens sounded across the northern, central, and southern regions of the occupied Palestinian territories after Iran a massive barrage of ballistic missiles and drones at Israeli targets.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), in a new phase of the ongoing Operation True Promise III, launched the missiles and UAVs at the occupied Palestinian territories late on Monday.
The large-scale retaliatory operation, which was launched on Friday night, is being carried out under the code name “Ya Ali ibn Abi Talib.”
Israeli media reported that sirens sounded across the northern, central, and southern regions of the occupied territories after Iran began the ninth phase of its retaliatory operation.
It came barely hours after the Israeli regime struck a building of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) in northern Iran, widely condemned as a horrific war crime.
According to sources, this phase of Operation True Promise III was expected to be longer and more intense than the previous eight phases, which began Friday night following the Israeli military’s unprovoked aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
That aggression led to the assassination of several high-ranking Iranian military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians, including women and children.
After receiving heavy blows in the previous eight phases of the operation, the Israeli regime authorities have banned the live broadcast of the Iranian operation, according to reports.
Settlers have been banned from sharing or publishing images or videos related to the Iranian retaliation to avoid further embarrassment for the regime’s embattled military.
However, some images that leaked through social media showed panic-stricken settlers hiding in underground shelters as the missiles and drones rained down on the occupied land.
Some reports said traffic cameras had been turned off across the occupied territories.
In a significant development during this phase of Operation True Promise III, which received significant coverage on social media platforms, an Israeli interceptor missile malfunctioned and tumbled down even before Iranian missiles had reached Tel Aviv.
