Iran Launches 18th Wave of Missile Strikes, Hits Site in Holon
The area includes factories and warehouses operated by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), as well as defense-related research facilities, some situated within restricted security zones
Iran, PUREWILAYAH.COM - The Israeli occupation army announced on Saturday at dawn that it had detected missiles launched from Iran toward the occupied territories.
Air raid sirens sounded across wide areas of occupied Palestine, from Netanya in the north to Ashdod in the south, including Tel Aviv and the central region.
Columns of smoke were seen, and loud explosions were heard, particularly around Tel Aviv, amid reports that a missile had struck a building in Holon, south of Tel Aviv.
The Israeli Kan channel confirmed that Magen David Adom ambulance teams and security forces rushed to the scene of the explosion, as the Israeli military instructed settlers to remain in bomb shelters. Emergency crews are continuing efforts to contain the blaze, amid official silence regarding the extent of the damage and possible casualties.
IRGC: Military Targets Successfully Struck with Missiles and Drones
Meanwhile, Iranian state television confirmed the launch of a new wave of missiles targeting occupied Palestine, marking the 18th wave of Operation True Promise 3.
In a statement, the IRGC announced that the latest wave of strikes successfully targeted Israeli military sites and operational support centers.
According to the statement, the IRGC launched a large barrage of Shahed-136 suicide and attack drones, along with precision-guided missiles, and successfully destroyed all predetermined targets.
Holon: A High-Value Target Zone South of Tel Aviv
Located just south of Tel Aviv, Holon hosts several vital sites that could be considered potential targets for Iranian strikes.
Along its northern border with Bat Yam and Tel Aviv, the area includes factories and warehouses operated by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), as well as defense-related research facilities, some situated within restricted security zones.
Holon also houses key command centers, including field police headquarters and technology control centers responsible for managing infrastructure across the "Greater Tel Aviv" area.
Among these is the Holon Institute of Technology, a leading educational institution in the field of information technology, which has occasionally collaborated on joint projects with the Israeli military and security sector. (PW)
