The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps has announced the launch of the 41st wave of Operation True Promise 4 against targets in Israeli-occupied territories in response to the ongoing US-Israeli aggression on Iran. 

In a Thursday statement, the IRGC announced that this wave of the operation was launched under the codename of "to the Holy al-Quds", as it comes on the eve of International Quds Day.

The salvo targeted American-Zionist targets in Tel Aviv and occupied al-Quds, as well as the bases of American terrorist soldiers in the region, added the statement.

"The operation was executed by firing more than 10 heavy and formidable Khorramshahr missiles with multiple-warhead capabilities, Qadr missiles with multiple-warhead capabilities, Kheybar Shekan missiles with one-ton warheads, Hypersonic Fattah missiles with one-ton warheads, and loitering drones," it added.

It said that further details of the operation will be announced soon.

Earlier this morning, Iran's Army announced a drone operation against key Israeli bases.

The strikes targeted the Palmachim Airbase, Ovda Airbase, and a major facility of the Shin Bet internal security service near Tel Aviv, according to an official military statement.

Army spokesman Brigadier General Akraminia said the destruction of sections of the enemy’s radar infrastructure has significantly improved operational conditions for Iranian forces.

“With the elimination of part of the enemy’s radar facilities at sensitive centers, continuing the operations has become easier and we now have better access to important and sensitive points,” he said.

“Operations are becoming more precise day by day,” he told the state TV on Thursday.

Operation True Promise 4 began momentarily after Washington and Tel Aviv began their latest round of unprovoked aggression towards the Islamic Republic late last month.
