The IRGC claimed to have used cutting-edge Fattah-2 rockets to bypass air defenses.
Iran used hypersonic missiles for the first time during its strikes on Israel on Tuesday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced.
Iran launched several salvos of missiles in what the IRGC called a response to the recent Israeli killings of the heads of Hamas and Hezbollah, as well as an Iranian general who was in Lebanon.
Fattah-2 hypersonic missiles were used in the attack to bypass the Israeli radars, Iranian media reported on Tuesday evening, citing the IRGC.
The Guard claimed that 80-90% of the missiles used in ‘Operation Honest Promise 2’ struck their targets, among which were the Tel Nof air base near Tel Aviv and the Netsarim area near Gaza, where they said “a large number of Israeli tanks” was destroyed.
Iran also claimed to have destroyed a number of Israeli F-35 fighters at the Nevatim air base, located halfway between Beersheba and the Dead Sea.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) estimated the number of incoming missiles at 180 and acknowledged that “a few hits” have been recorded. According to the IDF, the majority of the missiles were successfully intercepted. The only reported casualty on the ground is a Palestinian man, who was killed by a falling missile fragment near Jericho in the West Bank.
Tuesday’s attack was bigger in size and scope than the April strike, the first-ever such attack by Iran, in which scores of ballistic missiles and drones bombarded Israel in reprisal for an airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus.
Hypersonic missiles fly anywhere from five to 25 times the speed of sound. Iran unveiled its first such missile, the Fattah-1, last June. The Fattah-2 version was revealed to the public in November. Neither had been used in combat before.
According to Tehran, the missile attack was the response to the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of the Palestinian militant group Hamas, who was killed in Tehran back in July. Iran also cited the killings of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and IRGC Major General Abbas Nilforoshan in Lebanon last week.
Israel has vowed to strike back, while Iran has warned that any further attacks will be met with further force.
Looks like the little bully and its’ big bully backers defensive missiles don’t work against hypersonic projectiles.
Any lessons learnt, I wonder
I very much doubt that they were hypersonic because if they were then Israel’s Iron Dome and the US destroyers in the Mediterranean would not have been able to shoot them down. They are more likely supersonic, although I could be wrong …
Seen the footage on X. Multiple missiles hitting their targets. Looks like BiBi’s iron dome is now obsolete
The Iron Dome is antisemitic because it refused to shoot down Iranian missiles
Iran defending itself with precision strikes on military targets, unlike Israel’s strategy of as much civilian collateral damage as possible in their operations.

Just hope every IDF and MOSSAD are varnished by the attak?
I hope that the recent events give the Iranian people the motivation to stand up and remove the Mullah regime. The Iranian people would then be free, Lebanon would be free (because Hezbollah would have to disband) and Israel would be safer.
In other words, removing the Mullah regime would help the peoples of Israel, Lebanon and Iran.
Let’s hope and pray for that result.
I hope that the Israeli people who still support the convicted corrupt politician Netanyahu realise that he has brought this all on their country. In case you didn’t notice Mark, the targets were legitimate military targets, not residential buildings that became collateral damage to assassinate a target. MSM is claiming the only casualty is a Palestinian hit by an intercepted missile.
Unlike Israel, who has killed 1000 or so Lebanase in their bombings in the past 10 days or so.
Iran and Lebanon would never be free cowtowing to Israel.
Have Israel and the USA figured out what this means if they press Iran further? If the USA and Israels defences failed to protect IDF airfields and Mossad, what makes them think their aircraft carriers are safe?
Did you see the footage of that gutless Zionist Polish coward who calls himself Netanyahu, running for his underground bunker when he got word of incoming?

So you can see what israhell’ s scum is doing
This was coming sooner or later…..Israel made this happen….everyone is sick and tired of them and their warmongering,,,,
Humanity is going to the light, to our ascension that has been held back for a long time. All the darkness WILL be removed from the Earth. The hate filled Mullahs, who incite genocide with their despicable words of fear and darkness, will leave the Earth. They will be ‘invited’ to leave the astral realm of the Earth after they physically die, but they WILL leave because they will have no choice – their vibration will not belong to the Earth anymore. They know their time is up. That is why they are desperate in their behavior. They are clinging on by their fingertips. Their time is yesterday. They are done. Humanity has had enough of their hate, fear and violence.
“Humanity has had enough of their hate, fear and Violence” yes normal humans have had enough of these deviant Satan worshipping khazarian Mafia zionist globalist murdering lying organ harvesting child raping psychopath Israeli scum.
Are you talking about the US vulture mark ?? and its associate israhell ? both the greatest warmongers since WOII . The ones who carpetbombed countries and killed thousand of civilians, sent million of refugees fleeing destroyed homeland through the world.
To achieve landgrab and theft of assets ,mostly oil and gas, under false pretexts.
I would be full of ” hate” if that was done to my country, i can assure you and i am no ” mollah”
You really sound like you are parroting something you read and don’t understand what you are saying.
Next time try to understand before posting someone else’s message or the context of what you are typing.
Your Christian Zionism showing.
Iranian nukes fit on Iranian Hypo-sonic missiles, just saying, Israel.
