Several Iranian soldiers were killed while trying to fix ballistic missile launch and storage sites after Israeli military drones attacked Iranian military personnel and engineering equipment, as reported by The Times of Israel.
An official statement from the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said that monitoring activities had uncovered many attempts by the Iranian government to repair critical ballistic missile equipment that had been hit during previous Israeli strikes. “Destroying engineering equipment and eliminating dozens of soldiers of the Iranian military operating in the area,” the Israeli Defence Forces reported after an airstrike.
The military emphasised that the action was targeted at stopping Iran from re-establishing strategic offensive capabilities that could be used to harm Israel, but they did not detail the exact locations of the strikes or the number of soldiers killed.
Amid rising tensions in the area, Israel is carrying out this operation as part of its ongoing strategy to weaken Iran’s missile capability.
The Israeli Defence Forces have been quite clear that they would not stand by while Iran fixes vital military facilities or restocks its stockpiles, both of which endanger Israeli security.
These strikes’ use of drones is indicative of Israel’s increasing dependence on UAVs for precision surgical attacks deep within enemy territory, with minimal risk to Israeli pilots and ground troops.
This new information emerges just after Iran fired 20 ballistic missiles at Israel, damaging various cities including Beersheba, Ramat Gan, Holon, and Azor.
Concerns among Israel’s defence establishment regarding Iran’s changing strategies were heightened by the fact that at least one missile in that attack.
The Israeli government has often stated its intention to eliminate imminent dangers and forestall such attacks.
Additionally, the IDF has stated that it is prepared to respond to any additional efforts by Iran to reassemble its offensive missile capabilities, and that it is still on high alert. Reports of drone strikes and casualties went unanswered by Iranian state media.
