Tehran, MINA – Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Saturday evening announced its 73rd wave of missile attacks, targeting several areas in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Quoted from Al-Mayadeen, the IRGC said that military installations and security centers in Arad, Dimona, Eilat, Beer al-Saba’, and Kiryat Gat were hit in the latest wave.
The statement added that the strikes followed what it described as the “collapse” of Israeli air defenses, alongside targeting of military bases, including sites linked to US forces in the region.
The IRGC reported more than 200 dead and wounded during the early hours of the operation, according to field assessments.

It also claimed that Israeli authorities are restricting journalists and eyewitnesses in an effort to limit reporting on the scale of destruction and casualties.
According to Israeli media, an Iranian missile struck the city of Arad in the southern occupied Palestinian territories on Saturday evening, killing at least 8 settlers and injuring around 100 others in what Israeli media has described as the deadliest single strike since the beginning of the war.
The missile, identified by some Israeli media platforms as a Khorramshahr-4 ballistic missile carrying a half-ton warhead, scored a direct hit on a residential area of Arad, with Israeli news outlets saying the strike was “a failure of the air defense system.”
The latest strikes come as part of the broader True Promise 4 campaign, with the IRGC signaling continued operations across multiple fronts and expanding targeting within the occupied territories. []
