Iran's recent missile strike against Israeli military targets resulted in
the destruction of a major number of Israeli F-35 fighter jets, revealed
Brigadier General Ebrahim Jabbari, an advisor to the commander of the
Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).

Speaking at a conference in Tehran on Wednesday, he stated that 90% of the
missiles launched during Iran's Operation True Promise II
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/iranian-response-has-begun--sirens-sounded-all-over--israel>
on October 1 successfully struck their designated targets.

Jabbari pointed out that, in addition to the missile strike, the IRGC
simultaneously conducted cyber and electronic warfare operations aimed at
the Israeli regime's air defense systems, enabling missiles to achieve
direct hits on critical targets.

The general further indicated that Iran’s ballistic missiles targeted key
Israeli military bases and F-35 hangars, resulting in the destruction of
several warplanes.

He highlighted that "Israel" and the United States were taken by surprise
despite deploying advanced defense measures to prevent the Iranian strike.

Iran's missile strike on October 1 was in retaliation for the Israeli
assassination of Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah
Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and IRGC General Abbas
Nilforoushan

.

Operation True Promise II saw Iran launching at least 200 ballistic
missiles against Israeli military and intelligence facilities across the
occupied Palestinian territories.

The missiles fired by the IRGC's Aerospace Force targeted strategic Israeli
military sites, including three air bases in Tel Nof, Nevatim, and
Hatzerim.

The IRGC confirmed in a statement that the missile attacks targeted "three
military bases" around Tel Aviv, as well as air and radar bases, adding
that "90 percent" of the missiles "hit their targets."

According to the IRGC, the Nevatim base houses the F-35 fighter jets, while
the Hatzerim base houses the F-15 fighter jets that were used to assassinate
martyr Sayyed Nasrallah

published by the *Associated Press (AP)* showed the damage to the Nevatim
base as a result of the Iranian strikes. The images, taken after the
Iranian operation, show a large hole in the roof of a row of buildings near
the main runway, while large pieces of debris can be seen scattered around
the building.

The statement warned that if "Israel" acts in response to Operation True
Promise II, "it will face violent consequences."

Although the Israeli occupation regime has threatened to respond

Iranian officials have warned that any further action would be met with a
harsh, proportional, and calculated response from Tehran
