[HodhodYemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... News] The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on Thursday the launch of the fifteenth wave of missile and drone attacks on military targets and industrial centers linked to the military industry in the cities of Haifa and Tel Aviv.
The attack comes in the context of the Operation True Promise 3, according to the statement
Today’s operation includes more than 100 combat and suicide drones, primarily targeting air defense systems in Haifa and Tel Aviv, the statement added.
"Escalated and effective missile operations that impact the military infrastructure and arms industry of the enemy remain the top priority at the current stage."
In the morning of the same day, the Iranian Armed Forces fires a wave of missiles, causing fires and much destruction in Haifa and Tel Aviv.
Iran’s Tasnim News Agency published on Thursday a map showing the precise targets of the Iranian missiles that struck Israeli military headquarters in Beersheva.

[Regnum] The Iranian military launched a missile attack on the Israeli army's cyber command headquarters and intelligence center in Gav Yam. This was reported by the Iranian agency IRNA.
"The main targets of the attack were a major IDF C4I command and control center and a military intelligence camp in Gav Yam. These facilities house thousands of troops, digital command systems, cyber operations, and C4ISR systems of the Zionist army," the statement said.
The agency also clarified that the main target of this strike was military facilities, and a nearby hospital was only slightly damaged by the blast wave.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated Thursday evening that Israel is "ahead of schedule" in its military campaign against Iran, exceeding prior expectations and poised for further success.
In a rare Hebrew-language interview with the Kan public broadcaster, Netanyahu said Israel has destroyed at least half of Iran’s missile launchers, eliminated key military leaders, is targeting paramilitary forces and will hit all of Iran’s nuclear sites — including the heavily fortified Fordo nuclear facility.
"We are ahead of the schedule we set, both in terms of timing and results," the premier said, nearly a week after Israel launched what it says is a preemptive campaign to neutralize an existential nuclear threat from Iran.
"The work has been outstanding," Netanyahu said, explaining that he decided on the plan when a series of IDF operations left Iran’s strongest proxy, Hezbollah, "on its knees" toward the end of last year, and it became clear that Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... "was racing toward a nuclear capability."
"The elimination of [former Hezbollah head Hassan] Nasrallah," along with Israel’s gains against the Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... terror group, "broke the Iranian axis. What does [Iran] have left?... This operation has been in planning for many months," the prime minister added.
Addressing concerns over Israel’s reportedly depleted stock of Arrow missile interceptors, Netanyahu said the US was resupplying them and emphasized that "We’re striking [Iran’s] launchers. It doesn’t matter so much how many rockets they have. What matters is how many launchers they have — and we’re already getting there. I think we’ve already passed the halfway mark of their launchers."
A day earlier, the IDF had said around 40% of launchers were destroyed.
Netanyahu praised Israeli resilience under fire, comparing the home front to British society during the Blitz, the WWII German bombing campaign against Great Britannia.
’MORE TO COME’
Addressing whether Israel is concerned about any "non-conventional" Iranian missiles or weaponry, Netanyahu said the IDF is "systematically" targeting Iran’s full range of weapons systems, including any non-conventional arms.
Netanyahu still would not say whether assassinating Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini is on the table. He repeated his stance that regime change lies with the "Iranian people alone," but added, "We’re also striking government targets, symbols of the regime. You’ve seen it — the broadcast station and others. And there’s more to come."
"We are doing everything necessary — and there will still be much more," the premier continued, saying Israel is also targeting the Basij paramilitary militia of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, known for suppressing dissent in Iran.
"We’re also striking the Basij... this kind of internal police force of a million people. We’ve inflicted heavy damage, and we will continue to strike their targets," Netanyahu said.
The Basij consists mostly of volunteers and is used for internal security, regime enforcement, and suppression of dissent. Khamenei deployed the IRGC and the Basij militia to quell national protests in 1999, 2009, and 2022.
Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Wednesday that Israeli Air Force fighter jets "destroyed the headquarters of the Iranian regime’s internal security, the main arm of the Iranian dictator’s oppression," but Iranian media said that ordinary Iranian police, not the Basij, were targeted in the attack.
Asked whether Israel can destroy the underground Fordo facility without assistance from the United States, Netanyahu said, "We will achieve all our objectives and hit all of their nuclear facilities. We have the capability to do that."
Fordo is buried under a mountain and widely considered to be out of reach of all but America’s "bunker-buster" bombs.
Earlier Thursday, an Israeli official told The Times of Israel that Israel expects the US will decide on whether or not to join the offensive against Iran within the next 24-48 hours, though a White House spokesperson later said Trump would decide "within two weeks."
Whether US President Donald Trump ...Never got invited to a P.Diddy party... "wants to join or not — that’s entirely his decision," Netanyahu added.
"He’ll do what’s good for the United States, and I’ll do what’s good for the State of Israel," said Netanyahu, while adding that "as the saying goes — every contribution is welcome."
Pressed by Kan’s Ayala Hasson on Trump’s backing for a strike despite his earlier support for diplomacy, Netanyahu replied, "I’m not going to get into my discussions with the president of the United States."
"I speak with him almost daily — very good conversations," Netanyahu said, adding "there will be a time" to reveal what was said between the leaders, but "let’s not call on the historical archive to release itself just yet."
WITH OR WITHOUT THE US
Netanyahu said the "one thing" he can say is that "the United States recognized our right to defend ourselves from an existential threat," and that unlike Trump’s predecessor Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Too old and senile to be prosecuted, not too old and senile to set national policy... , the incumbent US president at no point "tried to stop us."
Netanyahu accused Biden of trying to block earlier operations against Iranian proxies: "He imposed an embargo, said: ’Don’t enter Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... , don’t go into Rafah.'" The premier stated that he resisted Biden’s warnings, which Netanyahu said set a precedent for how he’ll act if Israel faces similar pressure during the Iran war.
"I told him, ’Joe, I have no choice. You’re the president of the United States, I’m the prime minister of the Jewish state — we’re going in.’ So first of all, there’s already a precedent: Even if a US president tries to stop us — he won’t," said Netanyahu.
"By the way, this time, he didn’t try to stop us," added the premier in reference to this Trump.
Netanyahu also declared that during internal discussions about the operation over the last six months, other senior Israeli officials fretted over not receiving "a green light from the Americans."
"You know what my answer was? We’re not asking for a green light. Either way, we’re going to do this, because we have no choice. We will not allow 3,500 years of Jewish history to come to an end because of this deranged ayatollah," said Netanyahu, appearing to reference Khamenei.
Netanyahu added that Israel was prepared for the cost of the conflict: "We were told towers will fall in a war with Iran. But any outcome, no matter how difficult, is not the destruction of millions. Not the destruction of Jewish history. That’s why I had no doubt."
"Whatever the outcome is — even the worst-case scenario — we don’t dwell on predictions. Despite...the pain of losing precious civilians, we’re talking here about the possible destruction of millions...of Jewish history, of the people of Israel, God forbid...There was no other option."
Turning to the war in the Gaza Strip, Netanyahu argued that the conflict with Iran helps advance the return of the remaining hostages held by Hamas in the territory.
The "only real thing" preventing an end to the Gaza war is the hostages, according to the premier, who said the operation against the Islamic Theocratic Republic helps secure the captives’ return since "Hamas relies on Iran."
Netanyahu would not provide Hasson with even a rough timeframe for the campaign against Iran, declaring simply that it will be over “by the end of the operation.”

Israel strikes Iranian nuclear reactor
[Yahoo-Telegraph] Israel struck an Iranian reactor in the central city of Arak on Thursday in its latest efforts to destroy the regime’s nuclear programme.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it targeted Iran’s heavy water nuclear reactor, striking what it described as "a key component in plutonium production". A black and white video, circulated online by the IDF, showed a missile crashing into the target, followed by a large explosion.
Both sides have been fighting for nearly a week since Israel launched attacks on Iranian nuclear sites and killed several top generals and nuclear scientists.
On Thursday, Israel said its warplanes also struck a facility at Natanz, a key Iranian nuclear site, which was being used to develop nuclear weapons, a military front man said.
The IDF said: "The site houses unique components and equipment used for the development of nuclear weapons, and hosts projects that enable the acceleration of the nuclear weapons programme."
Earlier on Thursday, the IDF announced it had struck a nuclear site in Bushehr, which sits on the Gulf coast and is understood to be Iran’s only operating power plant. The announcement caused concern among neighbouring Gulf states because of the contamination risk to the surrounding air and water. But Israel was forced to retract it, admitting it had been "a mistake". When pushed, a front man said it could "neither confirm nor deny" whether the reactor was attacked.
Israel has said its goal for the war is to demolish Iran’s nuclear programme, which the West fears is close to building a bomb.
Some officials signalling that the attacks are also aimed at forcing the collapse of the Iranian regime, with possible US support in the near future.
The Arak nuclear reactor has been a key feature of Iran’s nuclear programme for decades, with Tehran insisting that it is only used for civilian purposes and not for the creation of nuclear bombs. In 2016, Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... agreed to remove the core of the Arak reactor and fill it up with concrete under the now-defunct Iran nuclear deal, which eased sanctions on Tehran in exchange for curbing the nuclear programme. The first Trump administration withdrew from the nuclear pact in 2018.
In 2019, Ali Akbar Salehi, Iran’s nuclear programme chief, said Tehran had replaced a calandria, a key component in the reactor, so that work on the programme could resume.
The IDF said: "The reactor is designed to produce high-yield plutonium, which would enable the acquisition of nuclear weapons. The attack was carried out against the component intended for producing plutonium, thus preventing its ability to be reused to produce nuclear weapons."
It added that it had also carried out overnight strikes, involving 40 aircraft and 100 munitions, against several Iranian military facilities.
The UN nuclear watchdog confirmed Thursday that IDF strikes had hit Iran’s partially built Khondab Heavy Water Research Reactor and damaged the nearby plant that makes heavy water, a component used in nuclear react.
“IAEA has information the Khondab (former Arak) heavy water research reactor, under construction, was hit. It was not operational and contained no nuclear material, so no radiological effects,” the International Atomic Energy Agency said in a post on X.
In its first statement on the attack in central Iran, the IAEA said it had no information indicating the nearby plant that produces heavy water had been hit. The agency later issued a statement revising that assessment.
“While damage to the nearby Heavy Water Production Plant was initially not visible, it is now assessed that key buildings at the facility were damaged, including the distillation unit,” the IAEA statement said.
The strike on the Arak heavy water reactor came a week into Israel’s campaign of airstrikes against the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program and military leadership.
Heavy water reactors use heavy water, also known as deuterium oxide, as a moderator, a material that slows down fast-moving neutrons released during the nuclear fission process that generates heat in the reactor.
The Arak facility that was struck overnight Thursday was originally designed in a way that would make it capable of easily producing plutonium, which could be used to produce nuclear arms.
Under a 2015 deal with major powers, the heavy water plant was redesigned to reduce the nuclear weaponization risk and its core was removed and filled with concrete. Iran had informed the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency the reactor would start operation in 2026.
The IDF, which issued a warning to residents of the area to evacuate ahead of the strike, said the attack on Arak “targeted the component intended for plutonium production, in order to prevent the reactor from being restored and used for nuclear weapons development.”
Even if unique U.S. conventional strike capabilities are brought to bear, there could still be significant targeting challenges, especially if the Iranians move to disperse elements of their nuclear program.
