In response, Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee announced on Monday that Israeli warplanes had struck a headquarters belonging to Iran’s Quds Force in Tehran.
Adraee said on the social media platform X that the operation was based on precise intelligence gathered by Israel’s intelligence units. He added that Quds Force operatives had used the targeted sites to plan attacks against Israel through Iranian proxies across the Middle East.
The Israeli strikes reportedly also hit missile launch platforms and ballistic missile sites in southern Tehran.
On Sunday, Iranian missiles had already struck several Israeli cities, including Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Jerusalem, after Israel’s air defence systems failed to intercept multiple incoming projectiles.
