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.

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 ...
