Israeli military admits Iranian UAVs penetrated defense system

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed on June 21 that an Iranian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) had successfully infiltrated and carried out an attack on its territory.

The Times of Israel reported that the Iranian Shahed-136 drone targeted a house in the city of Beit She'an. Israel attempted to shoot down the Shahed-136 but was unsuccessful.

Additionally, the IDF said it shot down one drone over the Golan Heights and attempted to intercept another.

In addition, the IDF confirmed that the drone incursion siren in the Upper Galilee was a false alarm. Meanwhile, they are checking the sirens in Eilat and the southern Negev region.

For its part, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that the latest attack in the campaign called "True Promise 3" was carried out early on June 21, targeting military facilities and support centers of the Israeli army.

Press TV reported that Iran has deployed a series of Shahed-136 drones, along with solid and liquid fuel precision-guided missiles.

In another development, on June 20, IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir announced that the country needs to “be ready for a long campaign” against Iran. Mr. Zamir stressed that this is the most complicated campaign in history, and affirmed that the military action against Iran is not over yet, although the Israeli army “has achieved many important achievements”.

The current escalating military tension between Iran and Israel stems from the morning of June 13 when the IDF launched a large-scale military operation targeting a series of strategic targets in Iran, including nuclear facilities and military bases, with the stated goal of preventing Tehran from developing nuclear weapons. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the attack, codenamed “Rising Lion,” targeting targets in Iran would last for several days.

Iran, for its part, responded with a barrage of long-range missiles targeting Tel Aviv. Iran confirmed that the missile launches were part of an operation called "True Promise 3", launched by the IRGC.
