The missiles that struck Haifa in the Israeli-occupied territories last night were used for the first time by the Iranian Armed Forces, an informed source tells Press TV.
The source made the remarks on Sunday after a large number of Iranian missiles caused heavy damage to Haifa’s oil and economic facilities.
Some reports said ammonia storage tanks in Haifa were also targeted by the Iranian missiles, causing fire and plumes of smoke in several areas.
The strikes were conducted as part of the second wave of Iran’s retaliatory attacks against the occupying regime.
Following the US greenlight, Israel waged a terrorist assault on Iran early Friday morning, killing dozens of people, including high-ranking Iranian military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians.
In response, Iran exercised its inherent right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter. It launched waves of missile and drone strikes against the Zionist entity as part of its retaliatory operation “True Promise III”.
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said Israel has made a big mistake, the consequences of which will make it helpless.
Ayatollah Khamenei also emphasized that the Iranian Armed Forces will act powerfully in support of the nation and will deliver heavy blows to the criminal regime.
