Iran’s Army says its operations against Israeli military infrastructure are becoming easier and more precise after parts of the regime’s radar network were destroyed, as a new wave of drone strikes hit key bases and security facilities.
Iranian forces launched a fresh round of drone operations against strategic Israeli targets on Thursday, striking the Palmachim Airbase, Ovda Airbase, and a major facility of the Shin Bet internal security service near Tel Aviv, according to an official military statement.
Army spokesman Brigadier General Akraminia said the destruction of sections of the enemy’s radar infrastructure has significantly improved operational conditions for Iranian forces.
“With the elimination of part of the enemy’s radar facilities at sensitive centers, continuing the operations has become easier and we now have better access to important and sensitive points,” he said.
“Operations are becoming more precise day by day,” he told the state TV on Thursday.
According to the Army’s statement, Iranian loitering drones targeted the control tower, runway, and aircraft hangars at Palmachim and Ovda airbases on Thursday.
Palmachim, located near Tel Aviv, serves as a key hub for the Israeli regime’s satellite launches and missile testing programs. The base also hosts missile defense systems such as David’s Sling and Hermes-900 drones.

The Ovda Airbase, another strategic facility, functions as a major training base for the Israeli air force. The site has also hosted American F-22 fighter jets.
Iranian drones also struck the headquarters of the Shin Bet, which operates as the operational heart of the regime’s internal security apparatus, coordinating security operations and protection of senior officials and sensitive installations.
The latest operation comes as Iran continues proportionate defensive operations following the large-scale aggression launched on February 28 by the United States and the Israeli regime.
The assault began with the assassination of late Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Martyr Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei, and several senior officials and was accompanied by widespread strikes on both military and civilian infrastructure across Iran.
The unlawful US-Israeli attacks on Iran have killed at least 1,348 civilians and injured over 17,000 others while damaging or destroying nearly 20,000 civilian sites, including schools, hospitals, residential buildings, and public service facilities.
