US daily verifies major damage inflicted on Israeli bases by Iran missiles

The Washington Post confirms that several Israeli military and "security" facilities were seriously damaged by missiles fired by Iran during a recent retaliatory operation.

Reporting on Friday, the daily said that footage and images analyzed by it showed that at least two dozen of the missiles had made impact on at least three of the installations.

Twenty missiles struck the Nevatim airbase, in the southern Negev Desert, and three struck the Tel Nof base in the central part of the occupied territories, it said.

At least two missiles also landed near the headquarters of the regime’s Mossad spy agency in Tel Aviv, the report added.

“Analysts told The Post the visuals were consistent with direct impacts on the bases rather than debris from intercepted missiles,” according to the report. 

The paper said its findings raised questions about “the full scope of the damage [that has been done] to Israeli military bases” by the Iranian missiles.

The regime and the United States have, however, claimed that the projectiles had caused “minimal damage on the ground” with the Israeli military also claiming that its bases were “fully operational.”

The report came after the Islamic Republic launched hundreds of missiles toward the Israeli bases all over the occupied territories as part of Operation True Promise II on Tuesday in response to the martyrdom of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and IRGC commander Abbas Nilforoushan.

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.

According to Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), 90 percent of missiles struck the intended targets, evading the regime’s much-hyped missile systems.

Chief of General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri commented on the operation after its implementation, saying it had also targeted the regime’s Hatzerim base that was used towards enabling its assassination of Hezbollah’s Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

The operation also targeted the regime’s strategic radars, the centers housing its tanks and personnel carriers, and the center accommodating those of its forces that partake in massacres against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, he added. 

The military chief asserted that the Islamic Republic’s Armed Forces were completely prepared to respond to potential repetition of the regime’s atrocities, describing the forces’ capabilities as “many times more than” what was displayed during True Promise II.

“If the Zionist regime, which has reached madness, was not controlled by the United States and Europe, and sought to either continue its atrocities or take action against our territorial integrity and sovereignty, tonight’s operation would be repeated with multiple magnitude and all of their infrastructures would be struck.”
