Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed responsibility for destroying a major Israeli military and strategic facility south of Tel Aviv. According to the IRGC’s public relations office, the ‘Ha’Ela Satellite’ communication center, which connected Israeli warplanes with airbases, was demolished through a special operation using suicide drones. The center reportedly served as a crucial part of Israel’s satellite control network for its air force.

The attack comes amid an intensifying conflict between Iran and Israel following a deadly assault on February 28 that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, several senior military commanders, and civilians. In response, the United States and Israel launched large-scale military operations targeting both military and civilian sites in Iran, causing heavy casualties and infrastructure damage.

Iran’s armed forces have since retaliated with missile and drone strikes on Israeli positions in occupied territories and on U.S. bases deployed across the region, signaling a continued cycle of escalation.
