After a night of more Iranian ballistic missile attacks on Israel, in response to Tel Aviv leading a war of regime change targeting Tehran, social media images have featured Mossad headquarters near Tel Aviv with huge plumes of black smoke above it.
Glilot military intel base appeared to be on fire after a ballistic missile reportedly struck it. Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is hailing the ‘success’ of the targeted attack. “This morning, the IRGC’s aerospace forces carried out a strike on the center of military intelligence of the Zionist regime’s army, Aman, and the Zionist regime’s center for planning terrorist operations, Mossad, in Tel Aviv, despite Israel’s advanced defense systems, and this center is now on fire,” the Tasnim news agency quoted an official statement as saying.
The Israeli military has downplayed the incident, claiming instead that damage was limited to a parking lot; however, Israeli media reported that in the vicinity are secret backup sites tied to Unit 8200, Israel’s elite cyber intelligence division, which may have been destroyed or suffered serious damage.
Both sides are clearly trying to take out the other’s military and intelligence leadership and sites. Israeli warplanes are also especially focusing on destroying Iranian oil depots in order to wreck the Islamic Republic’s economy.
On the other side, Israel also continued to tout battlefield successes. Israel has announced its forces killed a senior Iranian general overnight, shortly after eliminating his predecessor. The campaign against Iran’s nuclear program and Iran’s retaliatory missile attacks on Israel is now in its fifth day.
Despite widely circulating footage like the below, the Israeli government has not confirmed a hit on Mossad HQ, and is unlikely to offer verification:
