Iran’s Air Force took full control of Israeli skies in its recent attack, the Iranian IRNA news agency reported, citing a statement by the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
“Today’s attack made it clear that we have gained full control of the sky over Israel, and that their residents are entirely defenseless against Iranian missile strikes,” the IRGC stated.
The IRGC also called on the residents of Tel Aviv’s Neve Tzedek neighborhood to evacuate, the Mehr news agency reported.
Earlier, the Israeli military identified two missile launches from Iran.
On the other hand, the Israeli military said Monday that it can now fly over the Iran capital, Tehran, without facing major resistance after crippling Iran’s air defenses in recent strikes, enabling Israel to hit an expanding range of targets with relative ease.
Tensions have escalated sharply since Friday (June 13), when Israel launched coordinated airstrikes and drone attacks on multiple sites across Iran, including military and nuclear facilities, prompting retaliatory strikes from Tehran.
