TEHRAN - In its retaliatory military strikes on Israel late on Tuesday night the Iranian military targeted the Netzarim military facility and the Tel Nof intelligence unit.

 The military attack was in response to the Israeli assassination of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on July 31 and the killing of Iranian military advisor to Lebanon Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan, and Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in the massive airstrike on Beirut on September 27.

The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps used hypersonic Fatah missiles in targeting these two sites as well as the Nevatim air base.

The Nevatim air base housed F-35 military jets. The fighter jets that bombarded Beirut on September 27 flew from this military air base.
