WANA (Mar 15) – The Islamic Republic of Iran Army announced that it launched drone strikes early today targeting Israeli security centers and police headquarters in response to Israeli attacks on Iranian civilians and security personnel.

 

In Statement No. 29, the army’s public relations office said the operation was carried out as part of Iran’s “legitimate defense” following attacks by Israel on Iranian police command facilities and public checkpoints.

 

According to the statement, the strikes targeted several sites, including the Israeli police special unit “Lahav 433”—often compared to the FBI in other countries—as well as the “Gilat Defense” satellite communications center.

 

The army said the drone attacks were conducted with significant force and warned that any attack on Iran would be met with a strong response.

 

Lahav 433 is a special investigative unit of the Israeli police responsible for major criminal and national investigations, while Gilat Defense is a satellite communications and technology center that cooperates with the U.S. Department of Defense and NATO on military-related applications.
