In a social media post on Monday morning, General Hossein Mohebbi said Iran has proven for the umpteenth time that the skies over the occupied territories and the region are under its will and dominated by the destructive missiles of the IRGC Aerospace Force.
His remarks came after Iran launched a series of missile strikes against Israeli military targets following the Zionist regime’s attacks on Beirut’s southern suburbs and continued violations of the April 8 ceasefire.
Late Sunday, the IRGC announced that it had targeted the Ramat David airbase with ballistic missiles, describing the facility as the source of Israeli aggression against Lebanon. The force said the strike was carried out in response to Israeli attacks that killed and displaced civilians in southern Lebanon and Beirut’s Dahiyeh district.
On Monday morning, the IRGC launched ‘Operation Nasr (Victory)’, targeting the Israeli regime’s Tel Nof and Nevatim airbases in the occupied territories. The force said the operation was conducted in response to Israeli missile attacks on several radar sites inside Iran.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Ministry described the strikes as a legitimate act of self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter, stressing that Tehran’s response came after repeated Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement and continued aggression against Lebanon.
Iran has also warned that any further Israeli attacks on Lebanon or Iranian interests would be met with a broader and more forceful response.
