Iran Army drones target Israeli military installations, fuel depots in occupied lands

The Islamic Republic of Iran Army has carried out a large-scale overnight operation, targeting Israeli military installations and fuel depots in the occupied territories, deploying advanced kamikaze drones.

The Army said in a statement that the unmanned aircraft hit military buildings as well as fuel depots and hangars for tanker planes at the Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv.

The statement noted that refueling of military aircraft, airport activities, arrival and departure flights, alongside transportation of military personnel experienced serious disruptions in the wake of the attacks, leaving Israeli officials with no option but to move troops by rail, seriously jeopardizing the lives of ordinary people.

The Iranian Army emphasized that the comprehensive bank of targets deep inside the Israeli-occupied lands has given it the upper hand, and that its crushing strikes on Israeli positions will continue as long as threats against the Iranian nation persist.

The statement said the Ben Gurion airport, besides serving as the main venue for accommodating Israeli tanker aircraft, is home to rapid response units. The installations of the Israeli Air Force as well as aerospace and aircraft maintenance facilities are also located nearby.

The United States and Israel launched a large-scale and unprovoked military campaign against Iran on February 28, assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking military commanders despite indirect Tehran-Washington negotiations on Iran’s peaceful nuclear program.

In retaliation, Iranian Armed Forces immediately carried out powerful missile and drone strikes against US interests in the region and Israeli positions in the occupied lands.
