WANA (Jun 08) – Following the Israeli regime’s recent strikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut (Dahiyeh) and Iran’s subsequent retaliatory missile and drone response, Israel targeted several Iranian radar sites. However, informed sources confirm that Israeli fighter jets executed these operations without entering Iranian airspace, relying instead on stand-off weapons launched from outside the country’s borders.

 

Military analysts view this operational shift as a clear indicator of the heightened risks associated with enemy aircraft directly entering Iranian air territory.

 

The stand-off attacks prompted an immediate response from Tehran, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targeting the Tel Nof and Nevatim airbases in missile strikes.

 

Following the April 08 ceasefire, Iran’s integrated air defense network achieved an elevated state of operational readiness by reconstructing facilities, strengthening radar systems, and enhancing tactical coordination between detection, command, and fire control centers.

 

During the 40-day Ramadan war, Iran’s air defense forces successfully intercepted and destroyed more than 200 hostile targets, including fighter jets, cruise missiles, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

 

Defense experts note that in addition to robust interception capabilities, the military’s capacity to rapidly reconstruct and repair damaged systems has emerged as a critical component of the Islamic Republic’s strategic deterrence.
