Iran has revealed that it used hypersonic missiles for the first time in its recent strikes on Israel, as stated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
In response to the recent Israeli assassinations of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders, along with the killing of an Iranian general in Lebanon, Iran launched multiple missile salvos.
According to Iranian media reports citing the IRGC, Fattah-2 hypersonic missiles were deployed in the attack to avoid detection by Israeli radar systems.
The IRGC claimed that 80-90% of the missiles involved in ‘Operation Honest Promise 2’ successfully hit their targets, including the Tel Nof air base near Tel Aviv and the Netsarim area close to Gaza, where they asserted that “a large number of Israeli tanks” were destroyed.
Iran also asserted that several Israeli F-35 fighters at the Nevatim air base, situated between Beersheba and the Dead Sea, were destroyed.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) estimated that around 180 missiles were launched towards Israel, acknowledging that “a few hits” were recorded. They reported that the majority of these missiles were successfully intercepted. The only casualty reported was a Palestinian man who was killed by debris from a falling missile near Jericho in the West Bank.
This attack on Tuesday was larger in both size and scope than an earlier strike in April, which marked Iran's first missile assault, involving numerous ballistic missiles and drones fired in retaliation for an airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus.
Hypersonic missiles can travel at speeds ranging from five to 25 times the speed of sound. Iran introduced its first hypersonic missile, the Fattah-1, last June, with the Fattah-2 variant made public in November. These missiles had not previously been employed in combat scenarios.
Tehran stated that the missile strikes were in retaliation for the killing of Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas, who was assassinated in Tehran in July. The Iranian government also referenced the recent killings of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and IRGC Major General Abbas Nilforoshan in Lebanon.
In response, Israel has vowed to retaliate, while Iran has cautioned that any further attacks will be met with force.
