The strikes included military facilities and security centers in "Arad," "Dimona," "Eilat," "Beersheba," and "Kiryat Gat" in the southern occupied territories, following the retreat of Israeli air defense systems. Additionally, the "Ali Al Salem," "Al Minhad," and "Al Dhafra" bases belonging to the U.S. military in the region were targeted using "Fattah," "Ghadr," and "Emad" missiles, along with kamikaze drones.

According to field reports, more than 200 killed and wounded were recorded in the first hours of the attack, at a time when Israeli security authorities increased pressure on journalists and witnesses to impose a blackout on the extent of losses and damages.

A few hours ago, a hostile F-15 fighter jet was targeted in the airspace off the country's southern coast, near Hormuz Island, after being detected, tracked, and fired upon by an Army surface-to-air defense system.

The Army Public Relations office reported that investigations are underway to determine the fate of the fighter jet.
