The Public Relations Office of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran issued Statement No. 37 confirming the operation.
“At dawn today, drones of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran struck military infrastructure of the Zionist regime in the occupied territories, including fuel depots and locations hosting enemy refueling aircraft for fighter jets at Ben Gurion Airport,” the statement read.
The Army recalled in the statement that despite intense censorship by the Zionist enemy, repeated strikes by the Army and the IRGC on military installations of the occupying regime have severely disrupted fuel supply to military aircraft, airport operations, flights at Ben Gurion Airport, and military troop movements.
It added that such disruptions have forced the enemy to relocate forces via rail, endangering civilian lives.
Separately, the statement emphasized that the comprehensive and extensive database of targets in the occupied territories has enabled the armed forces to sustain drone operations with long reach.
“These precise and deadly strikes deep inside the occupied lands will continue with full force until the threats against the dear Iranian nation are completely eliminated,” the army said.
Ben Gurion Airport, in addition to housing refueling tankers and fuel storage, serves as headquarters for special units and air force facilities of the Zionist regime's army.
Adjacent to it are aviation industries and maintenance centers for fighter jets of the occupying regime.
