A piece published by The Guardian confirms the success of Operation True
Promise 2, highlighting the concerns among "Israel" and allies regarding
the implications of a greater, joint operation by the Axis of Resistance.

Iran's missile attack against occupied territories
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/iranian-response-has-begun--sirens-sounded-all-over--israel>
on Tuesday night prompted security concerns in "Israel" and among its
allies over the consequences of a potential joint operation led by the Axis
of Resistance, including Iran and the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon -
Hezbollah, a piece published by *The Guardian *said.

In the article, Peter Beaumont says that while footage circulated showed
massive fires at the military bases, particularly Tel Nof Airbase, "Israel"
and its allies rushed to coin the attack a failure. However, Beaumont
argues that the understanding of the Iranian attack does not solely depend
on the damages that were inflicted, but rather on the fact that 181
missiles were able to bypass and pierce the "mighty" Israeli interceptors
and air defenses.

According to the author, Iran's operatio
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/ismail-haniyeh-assassinated-in-airstrike-on-tehran-residence>n
was able to achieve exactly what it set out to, triggering long-running
concerns regarding "Israel's" security and the implications of a possible
joint missile attack by the Axis of Resistance.

What is worth noting, however, is the precision that was showcased during
the attack, marked by barely any damage to civilian infrastructure, other
than minor ones inflicted by shrapnel dropping post-interception.

Although "Israel" boasts its interception and aerial defense capabilities,
it also prepped healthcare centers and hospitals to anticipate and expect
mass casualty events for when a scenario like Iran's operation plays out.

Commenting on the attack, "Israel's" *Haaretz* daily reported that the
occupation forces refused to announce the percentage of interception on
Tuesday night to allegedly prevent Iran and Hezbollah from obtaining key
information that would "help them learn lessons." This, according to
Beaumont, confirms what reporters and analysts deduced from the attack:
Despite Israeli allegations of almost impeccable interception, the Iranian
missiles in both waves penetrated occupied airspace and reached their
targets.
The Fruit of True Promise 2

In other attempts to justify the penetration, Israeli military officials
claimed that Iran used its "most advanced" missiles to carry out its
operation.

In this context, Iran's *IRIB* news agency reported that the IRGC used the
Fattah hypersonic missile in its attack and reportedly pierced the Israeli
anti-missile shield, which consists of Arrow-2 and Arrow-3 anti-ballistic
missiles.

The IRGC announced that three military bases were successfully targeted:
Nevatim, Hatzerim, and the Tel Nof Airbase in Tel Aviv.

In detail, the Nevatim base houses the F-35 fighter jets, and the Hatzerim
base houses the F-15 fighter jets used to assassinate Martyr Sayyed Hassan
Nasrallah. The IRGC affirmed that the latter was targeted in response to
the assassination of Hezbollah's martyred leader

.

Additionally, at least 90% of Iran's ballistic missiles and projectiles
launched from its first wave toward occupied Palestinian territories struck
their targets, according to the IRGC's second statement released
post-response.
