Iran’s Army strikes key Israeli military procurement companies

The Iranian Army says it has used unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to target key military procurement infrastructure in the Israeli-occupied territories.

The Army said in a statement on Monday that it had launched extensive drone operations since early Monday to hit areas in the Israeli-controlled cities of Tel Aviv and Nof HaGalil.

The statement said various types of combat drones had been used to target infrastructure controlled and operated by major Israeli companies like Elbit Systems and Kanfit Ltd, adding that the two have been critical to the regime's weapons manufacturing and its design and development of various military systems.

The areas and companies hit have been responsible for procurement and production of major missile systems, including the Iron Dome, that have been used by the Israeli regime against Iran's retaliatory strikes since the start of the US-Israeli aggression on Iran in late February, it said.

The statement described Elbit Systems as a main weapons manufacturing company focused on electronic warfare, drone manufacturing, identification systems, and radar sensors that has operated as a large arms exporter for the Israeli regime in the past years.

It said Kanfit Ltd has been mostly active in the field of engineering and manufacturing aerospace components, as well as constructing airframes for aircraft and helicopters.
The Iranian Army said the operation was carried out in honor of Martyr Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri, the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Navy, who was assassinated in a US-Israeli airstrike last week.

“The blood of Martyr Tangsiri and each martyr of the country has injected fresh blood into the veins of the self-sacrificing members of the Army and boosted their efforts to protect the country,” the Army statement said.
