TABNAK, Oct, 05: Salar Velayatmadar, Chairman of Defense Committee of Iranian National Security Parliament said, “Launching hypersonic missiles in the operation in considerable barrage and number made the operation among the first missile operations in the world which is admirable in its kind,” he said.
He said the missile attack was ambush which made it become successful, as warning that in case “Zionist regime makes the slightest mistake in Iran or continues terrorist attacks in the region, Iran will respond with a great deal of advanced and new weapons.”
On Tuesday night, Iran launched a massive barrage of ballistic missiles against the occupying regime’s bases.
During the operation, Iran launched some 200 ballistic missiles toward the Zionist entity’s military and intelligence bases in a retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation True Promise II, which set off sirens all over the occupied Palestinian territories and sending Israelis to underground shelters.
The much-anticipated operation came in response to the regime’s assassinations of Hamas’ chief Ismail Haniyeh in the Iranian capital of Tehran, Hezbollah’s leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and IRGC commander Abbas Nilforoushan, an Iranian military advisory in Lebanon, in the Lebanese capital of Beirut.
A report by AP news agency on Wednesday showed satellite images of the Nevatim airbase in southern Israeli occupied territories, revealing significant damage to the roof of several buildings near the main runway, with large debris scattered around the area.
Nevatim houses the Israeli Air Force's most advanced aircraft, including the F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jets produced in the United States.
This huge airbase with four runways covers about 50 square kilometers and is located in the Negev desert, 15 km east of Beersheba and 12 km north of Dimona.
It hosts three squadrons of US-made F-35 stealth fighter jets, the 140th, 116th and 117th, as well as C-130 transport aircraft, Boeing 707 tanker aircraft and other reconnaissance aircraft.
At least seven different videos show direct hits from 20 to 30 Iranian ballistic missiles, which caused extensive damage to the base and, according to some sources, destroyed over 20 jet fighters.
