The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has announced execution of the 16th wave of its underway Operation True Promise 4 against renewed Israeli-American aggression towards the Islamic Republic.
In a statement issued in late Tuesday, the Corps noted that it had struck the "heart and the northern parts of the occupied territories" with "effective" missile and drone operations conducted by its Aerospace Division.
It cited some of the targets as the general staff of the Israeli regime's army and its ministry of war in Hakiriya, the strategic infrastructures lying in Bnei Brak, military targets stationed in Beit Hakfa, northeast of Tel Aviv, and the military center in Western Galilee.
According to intelligence sources and field monitoring, enemy military casualties have increased to more than 680 killed and wounded by the fourth day of the reprisal, the Corps stated.
The statement pointed to "operational weakness, technical gaps, and the reduced computational capability in the multi-layer defense systems of the occupied territories" as the reasons contributing to "opening up of air corridors for the penetration, passage, and impact of Iranian projectiles."
The continuous emission of smoke and dust from the heart of the occupied territories indicates the Islamic Republic's powerful blows to the military and security foundation of the child-killing enemies, it added.
"The will of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic rests assuredly upon managed continuation of their operations as well as erosion and collapse of the military infrastructures of the Zionist regime," the statement continued.
"Up until complete destruction of the region's festered and usurping growth (the Zionist regime), we will remain committed to our allegiance until the last moment."
IRGC: Ground Forces enter battlefield
Separately, the IRGC announced entry of its Ground Forces into the battlefield versus the regime and the United States "with three simultaneous operations and firing of 230 attack drones."
It recounted the division's operations so far as firing of dozens of drones against the US base in Erbil, Iraq, destruction of the positions of terrorist groups in northern Iraq on several occasions, and intermittent launching of drones at the US bases of Ali al-Salem and Arifjan in Kuwait.
Meanwhile, the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Iran’s highest operational command unit, which coordinates joint military operations by the IRGC and Army, announced through spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaqari that Iranian forces had "delivered heavy and crushing blows to the enemy's sensitive and strategic bases and centers in the region" as part of Operation True Promise 4.
The operation serves as a sequel to the Corps' previous successful and decisive instances of reprisal against aggressors.

The targets destroyed included the air control command center of the American terrorist forces, aircraft fuel depots, and the building housing high-ranking American commanders, according to the statement.

The Iranian army has reported that its air defense systems successfully destroyed six advanced enemy drones over the last 24 hours as they were flying over the Iranian territory.
In a communique issued on Tuesday, the army stated that the drones were intercepted and shot down by the integrated systems of the Khatam al-Anbiya Air Defense Base.
It further specified that six advanced “Hermes” drones were targeted and destroyed across various regions, including Isfahan, Qasr-e Shirin, Tabriz, Khuzestan province, and the greater Tehran area.

Iran’s constant firing of drones and missiles has clearly challenged the United States’ ability to reach its military objectives in the country and its capability to defend allies and assets in West Asia, an analysis by the Wall Street Journal shows.
The analysis, published on Tuesday, said US military and diplomatic resources in West Asia are under mounting pressure as Iran conducts back-to-back waves of drone and missile assaults on the Israeli regime as well as on the assets of the United States in the region.
The analysis comes a day after officials at US Central Command confirmed that six service members lost their lives following a drone strike against a facility in Kuwait.
In a separate incident on the same day, three American F-15 fighters were downed over Kuwait.
Additional Iranian strikes have targeted American positions in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain, while the US Embassy in Riyadh sustained damage from a drone attack early Tuesday.
