Iranian media are reporting on a statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) describing its latest attack on Israel which hit four cities and caused power disruptions, reports Al Jazeera.
“This wave was carried out with combined missile and drone operations using solid and liquid fuel missiles and utilising special tactics to penetrate the layers of the Israeli air defence shield,” Tasnim news agency reported, citing the IRGC.
“So far, rocket strikes have been recorded at five locations in the cities of Safad, Tel Aviv, Ashkelon, Ashdod, and Beisan,” it added.
There was no immediate response from Israeli authorities.
Meanwhile, the Times of Israel is reporting that the Israel Electric Corporation has confirmed a hit near a “strategic infrastructure facility” and says there are power disruptions in several towns in the area.
“Teams are on their way to several locations on the ground with the aim of restoring power supply as soon as possible. The operations include infrastructure repairs and the removal of safety hazards, and are being carried out in coordination with security forces,” the IEC was quoted as saying.
Earlier, The Times of Israel reported that medics are responding to a report of a ballistic missile impact in the Ashdod area in southern Israel, while Ynet News said that there have been reports of damage in the Lachish area, south of the city of Jerusalem.
