Iran’s Army drones strike sensitive locations in strategic Haifa port

Iran’s Army says it has targeted sensitive locations in Israel’s strategic Haifa port with drones, almost four weeks after a US-Israeli military coalition began an unprovoked war of aggression against the Islamic Republic.

In its 44th statement, the Army said on Thursday that it launched a massive drone attack against a number of sensitive and strategic sites in the northern port city of Haifa on Wednesday night.

The aerial strike, it said, was carried out in response to the US-Israeli enemy’s claim that Iran’s missile and drone capabilities have been significantly diminished.

The Army’s operations are separate from more than 80 waves of retaliatory strikes carried out by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), using ballistic missiles and drones, on various US targets in the region and military centers in Israeli occupied territories under Operation True Promise 4.

“The center for manufacturing and maintenance of various military vessels of the Zionist regime in the eastern Mediterranean Sea that played a key and sensitive role in logistics for the regime’s Navy as well as the huge fuel storage facilities for warplanes in Haifa port were, among others, targeted in the recent drone attack by the Islamic Republic’s Armed forces,” the Army’s statement said.

The US and Israel launched an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran on February 28, assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, along with several senior officials and military commanders, as well as hundreds of civilians.
