Iranian state media has reported that the Islamic Republic launched direct missile strikes on high-level Israeli military installations early Thursday morning, marking what analysts say could be a shift from retaliation to strategic military disruption.
According to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), the targeted sites included:
- The Israel Defense Forces’ (IDF) Cyber Command, also known as C4I HQ
- The IDF Military Intelligence Center located in Gav-Yam, near Tel Aviv
IRNA emphasized that these were not symbolic targets, but critical operational hubs within Israel’s defense architecture. The reported strikes, if confirmed, would represent a significant escalation in Iran’s military posture, directly challenging Israel’s command-and-control infrastructure.
Military and intelligence officials in Israel have not yet commented on the alleged impact or validity of the claims. Independent verification of the damage remains ongoing.
Analysts say targeting such installations signals a tactical shift by Iran from reactive retaliation to attempting disruption of Israel’s strategic capabilities.
The situation remains fluid, with fears of broader escalation in the region.
