The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps carried out a missile strike against the Israeli occupation entity on Tuesday evening.
The IRGC said in a statement that it has targeted “the heart of the occupied territories” in response to the martyrdom of Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, and IRGC general Abbas Nilforoushan at the hands of the Zionist regime.
The statement said the retaliatory attack has been launched after a period of self-restraint following the violation of Iran’s sovereignty.
The IRGC said it has fired tens of ballistic missiles at vital military and security Israeli targets.
The IRGC has also warned the Zionist regime that if it intends to react militarily to Iran’s operation, which conforms with Tehran’s legitimate rights and international law, it will have to face subsequent “crushing and devastating strikes”.
Reports suggest that as many as 200 Iranian missiles have been fired during half an hour.
Images released by the media outlets show a large number of projectiles over `Tel Aviv` and a number of other cities across the occupied territories.

Resistance Factions Hail Tehran’s Precise Attack
Hamas
The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) issued a statement to commend the Iranian missile strikes in response to the Zionist aggression against the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples.
“The Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS) expresses its support for the heroic missile launches executed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Iran, targeting large areas of our occupied lands. These strikes are a response to the ongoing crimes of the Zionist occupation against the peoples of the region and an act of retribution for the blood of our honored martyrs: the martyred fighter Ismail Haniyeh, His Eminence Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, and General Abbas Nilforoushan,” the statement reads.
Hamas also affirmed that “this honorable Iranian retaliation sends a strong message to the Zionist enemy and its fascist government, aiming to deter their continued terrorism,” adding that “the Israeli persistent violations of international law and humanitarian norms, as well as their crimes and arrogance, have exceeded all bounds.”
The group expressed pride in Iran and commended its stance against Zionist aggression, affirming that ‘their commitment to justice aligns with the struggles of the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples.’
Hamas concluded its statement by calling on all countries and forces within the Arab and Islamic Nations to unite against Zionist crimes and expansionism, urging collective efforts to liberate our lands and sacred sites from occupation.
Ezzeddine Al-Qassam Brigades
The spokesman for Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Ubaidah, issued a statement hailing Iran’s retaliatory operation, which dealt a decisive blow to the criminal occupation that mistakenly believes it can continue its rampant aggression in the region without consequence.
“Today marks a pivotal moment in the history of the conflict, as the flames of the nation’s resistance converge in the skies over Palestine. Tel Aviv now faces the strikes of the Mujahidin from Yemen, Lebanon, Palestine, and Iran. This is a call to the entire nation, urging everyone to unite as a single arrow aimed at the liberation of Palestine,” Abu Ubaidah declared.
Wide Celebrations
The Iranian people took to the streets in many provinces across the country to celebrate Iran’s response to the assassination of martyr Ismail Haniyeh, His Eminence Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, and Brigadier General Abbas Nilfroushan.
Many gathered in the Iranian capital, Tehran, in Palestine Square, expressing their joy at the targeting of the Zionist entity’s deep stronghold.
