Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Saturday launched the 84th wave of Operation True Promise 4, indicating that its missiles struck designated targets.
In a statement, Iran’s Khatam Al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the unified command of the country’s military bodies, detailed that the IRGC carried out the attack through a joint operation involving drones and missiles, destroying Israeli missile defense systems along with several refueling and support aircraft. The wave also targeted several US bases across the Gulf region.
Israeli media reported that cluster munition fragments fell in central areas, injuring several people. A multi-warhead missile hit a residential area in Tel Aviv, causing damage, while debris struck a building in Kafr Qasim, raising fears of people trapped. Air defense failures were also reported during the attack.
In Oman, two drones hit the Port of Salalah, damaging a crane, while a worker, an expatriate, sustained moderate injuries. In the UAE, state media relayed that falling debris from an intercepted ballistic missile injured five people and sparked two fires near Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD).
