Fourth Night of Confrontations: Israel Targets Command Bases of Al-Quds Units
Hamas's Al-Quds Brigades' strategic bases targeted in Israeli air assaults
Take a seat and grab some popcorn, folks, because this spotlight is on the ongoing game of cat and mouse between Israel and Iran. For the fourth consecutive night, Israel has launched attacks on crucial assets in Iran. In response, Iran has retaliated, leaving four innocent souls lifeless, according to IsraeliStatement. Donald Trump, U.S. President, is trying to play peacemaker, urging both parties to reach a settlement.
The most recent Israel-led raids in Iran homed in on missile launch sites positioned centrally in the nation. Moreover, command centers of the Al-Quds units of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and the Iranian military were under fire.
The Israeli military claimed that the command centers in Tehran, the Iranian capital, were hatching plans for terrorist actions against the State of Israel, collaborating with the Iranian leadership's proxies in the Middle East. No further details were furnished. As of now, Iran hasn't confirmed this.
You might be curious about the role of the Al-Quds forces. Well, they're the foreign division of Iran's elite unit, deploying undercover operations globally. They come under the jurisdiction of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who's the ultimate decision-maker in all strategic matters. It's important to note that the military wing of the militant Palestinian organization, Islamic Jihad, also calls itself Al-Quds units. Al-Quds is the Arabic name for Jerusalem and refers to "holy" city, following Mecca and Medina in Islamic hierarchy.
After Sunday evening, Israel reported attacks on multiple targets in the west of Iran, where ground-to-ground missiles were suspected to be stationed. Besides, Israel targeted the Mashhad airport in northeastern Iran. On the following day, Iran launched another rocket barrage. Magen David Adom, Israeli emergency service, reported that four civilians were killed, and 87 were wounded in attacks primarily concentrated in the country's heart.
