Israel has reportedly shut military installations and prevented the publication of reports on impacts of the recent massive retaliatory missile attack by Iran against the occupying entity.

The Middle East Eye news portal reported on Wednesday that the censorship from Israel had made it difficult to assess the full damage caused by the Iranian reprisal attack the previous day.

“After Iran launched waves of ballistic missiles …, with video footage showing many of them hitting their targets, Israel closed off several military zones and barred the publication of reporting on where missiles hit the ground,” the report said.

On Tuesday evening, Iran launched high-speed missile barrages at the Zionist entity’s military and intelligence and spying bases, sending almost 10 million settlers into bomb shelters.

Israel claimed that most of the missiles were intercepted, but video footage online showed numerous projectiles landing and exploding inside the occupied territories.

Among the targets of the raid was Israel’s Nevatim air base, which hosts F-35 jet fighters.

The occupation’s military declined to comment on the damage to the base and other locations, arguing “it did not want to give information to Iran that would help it understand the effectiveness of its barrage.”

Iran’s operation, dubbed Operation True Promise 2, was carried out in response to Israel’s barbaric acts of assassination against the resistance front’s top leaders.

The Iranian mission at the UN said the attack was a “legal, rational and legitimate response to the terrorist attacks of the Zionist regime, which involved the targeting of Iranian nationals and interests and infringing on the national sovereignty of Iran.”

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said that 90 percent of the missiles launched in the attack successfully hit their targets.

Op. True Promise II: Iran launches hundreds of missiles at Zionist entity, 90% hit targets

Sirens sounded all over the occupied territories as Iran launched hundreds of missiles towards the Zionist entity.

Tuesday’s operation was Iran’s second anti-Israel operation, after a missile and drone attack in April in retaliation for the regime’s deadly airstrike on the Iranian consulate in the Syrian capital.

Israel is currently waging brutal two-front aggression that has killed almost 41,700 people in the Gaza Strip and nearly 2,000 others in Lebanon over the past year.
