‘Operation Nasr’: IRGC pounds Israel’s Nevatim, Tel Nof strategic air bases

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has announced the launch of "Operation Nasr" (Victory), targeting Israel's strategic Nevatim and Tel Nof airbases in retaliation for missile strikes on Iranian radar sites.

The IRGC's Aerospace Force carried out the operation under the sacred codeword "Ya Haidar Karrar," dedicating the attack to the martyrs of the 12-day war in June 2025, the force said in a statement on Monday.

"The operation was carried out in response to the missile aggression of the child-killing Zionist regime against several radar sites in three locations across the country," the IRGC statement said.

The IRGC emphasized that the speed of response to Israeli military aggression and the breadth of its target bank are core features of operations at this stage of the war.

The IRGC said all its combat and operational units are at full readiness to conduct extensive, "lesson-teaching" operations on all fronts, with action plans prepared according to various enemy scenarios.

Israeli sources reported loud explosions across the occupied Palestinian territories on Monday coinciding with a new wave of Iranian missile launches, with one missile striking the Haifa area.

Israeli media said explosions were heard in central occupied Palestinian territories and in Tel Aviv following the Iranian missile fire.

The sources also reported a missile striking the settlement of Kiryat Ata near Haifa, with shrapnel falling in the settlement of Beit Shemesh near occupied al-Quds.

Meanwhile, Israel's so-called home front command announced that early warnings had been expanded to central occupied Palestinian territories, occupied al-Quds, and the Tel Aviv area.

Reports indicated that warning sirens were activated in Haifa and extensive areas of the northern occupied Palestinian territories, as well as in the Lower Galilee cities.

The IRGC strikes on Nevatim Airbase in southern Israeli occupied territories and Tel Nof Airbase near Tel Aviv came after the Zionist regime targeted western and central Iran on Monday morning and a petrochemical facilities in the south.

Iranian media reported explosions heard in Tehran, Isfahan, and Tabriz following the Israeli strikes.

Iran pounds occupied territories with missiles, warns of 'more crushing blows' if Lebanon attacks persist

Iranian armed forces launched a missile barrage at Israeli-occupied territories on Sunday, responding to persistent Israeli attacks on Lebanon in breach of the ceasefire.

On Sunday, the IRGC launched ballistic missiles at Israel's Ramat David Air Base in northern Israeli occupied territories in response to the Zionist regime’s widespread crimes in southern Lebanon, including the killing and displacement of civilians.

The virtual account of the IRGC Intelligence Organization announced on Monday that overnight military, security, and cyber strikes against the occupied territories had achieved complete success.

"Field intelligence indicates severe and rapid military, security, and cyber strikes last night on the occupied territories, demonstrating 100 out of 100 success," it wrote in a message. The account added: "100 nights of resistance, 100 years of security."

IRGC spokesman Brigadier General Hossein Mohebi said Iran has proven for "the umpteenth time" that the skies over the occupied territories and the region are under the will and control of the IRGC's aerospace missile power.

"We have proven for the umpteenth time that the sky of the occupied territories and the region is under our will and in the grip of the roar of the destructive missiles of the IRGC's aerospace force," he wrote in a message on social media.

A knowledgeable military source, cited by Tasnim news agency, said Iran used a combination of Emad, Qadr F, and last-generation Kheibar Shekan missiles in its Monday strikes on Israeli-occupied territories.

Kheibar Shekan missiles reach speeds of around Mach 9 during their descent, making them difficult to intercept by costly defense systems such as the US-made Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) or Israel's Arrow, according to the source.

The IRGC has warned that if Israel initiates any subsequent attacks, the geographic and military scope of Iran's retaliatory operations will be significantly broadened, and all US and Israeli targets in the region could come under attack.

On Sunday, chief commander of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters Ali Abdollahi warned that Israel would face more "crushing and regret-inducing blows" if it expanded attacks on southern Lebanon and the southern Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh.
