Israel has reportedly shut military installations and prevented the publication of reports on impacts of the recent massive retaliatory missile attack by Iran against the occupying entity.
The Middle East Eye news portal reported on Wednesday that the censorship from Israel had made it difficult to assess the full damage caused by the Iranian reprisal attack the previous day.
“After Iran launched waves of ballistic missiles …, with video footage showing many of them hitting their targets, Israel closed off several military zones and barred the publication of reporting on where missiles hit the ground,” the report said.
On Tuesday evening, Iran launched high-speed missile barrages at the Zionist entity’s military and intelligence and spying bases, sending almost 10 million settlers into bomb shelters.
Israel claimed that most of the missiles were intercepted, but video footage online showed numerous projectiles landing and exploding inside the occupied territories.
Among the targets of the raid was Israel’s Nevatim air base, which hosts F-35 jet fighters.
The occupation’s military declined to comment on the damage to the base and other locations, arguing “it did not want to give information to Iran that would help it understand the effectiveness of its barrage.”
Iran’s operation, dubbed Operation True Promise 2, was carried out in response to Israel’s barbaric acts of assassination against the resistance front’s top leaders.
The Iranian mission at the UN said the attack was a “legal, rational and legitimate response to the terrorist attacks of the Zionist regime, which involved the targeting of Iranian nationals and interests and infringing on the national sovereignty of Iran.”
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said that 90 percent of the missiles launched in the attack successfully hit their targets.
Tuesday’s operation was Iran’s second anti-Israel operation, after a missile and drone attack in April in retaliation for the regime’s deadly airstrike on the Iranian consulate in the Syrian capital.

US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is preparing to leave the Trump administration after what a new report has described as months of tension with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, potentially triggering another change at the army’s top echelons.
According to the Friday report by The Wall Street Journal, Driscoll is expected to step down before the end of the year and could leave his post earlier. The newspaper cited people familiar with discussions over his departure.
The Journal reported that Driscoll and his family vacated the official residence assigned to the army secretary at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall this summer, a move that could indicate he was preparing to leave the position.
The reported departure would come at a time of continuing uncertainty at the top echelons of the army.

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) warns the enemies that any act of aggression against the Islamic Republic will not go unanswered.
In a statement on Thursday, the IRGC issued a “stern warning” to the enemies after US forces launched strikes against the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas.
Following the US military attack on a point on the outskirts of Bandar Abbas Airport with aerial projectiles, the IRGC carried out new strikes targeting the US air base from which the attack originated in the wee hours of Thursday, it added.

It also said the responsibility for the consequences of any IRGC response lies with the aggressor.
The statement comes after the IRGC Navy on Thursday forced an American tanker to turn back. The tanker ...
