Iran targets Mossad and Unit 8200 in missile attack on Tel Aviv

Iran announced it targeted Israeli intelligence centers, including Mossad and Unit 8200, in a ballistic missile attack on the Glilot Base near Tel Aviv.
A statement from the Revolutionary Guards Army noted, “This morning, the Iranian Aerospace Forces, despite highly advanced defense systems, carried out an effective attack on the military intelligence center Aman and the terror operations planning center Mossad, belonging to the Zionist regime; the said center is currently on fire.”
According to Ynet, multiple missiles struck the Herzliya area in the Tel Aviv region, setting a bus on fire and damaging an eight-story building. Videos of the missiles’ impact show large explosions in this area.
The Israeli press reported that military censorship is being enforced on the area in the Glilot region affected by the Iranian missiles, with news and images on the subject being suppressed.
This area houses significant intelligence centers like Mossad and Unit 8200. Some sources indicate that logistics or warehouse facilities belonging to Unit 8200 were targeted. Analysis of satellite and narrow-angle imagery confirms that the missiles landed near Mossad facilities.
The Israeli government has blocked the dissemination of information regarding the damage caused by the Iranian missiles.
Unit 8200, one of Israel’s elite intelligence units, operates under the Israeli Military Intelligence Directorate, Aman. The unit, which specializes in electronic eavesdropping, cyber intelligence, signal interception, data collection, and analysis, is considered the backbone of Israel’s digital espionage operations. According to many commentators, Unit 8200 is Israel’s “cyber warfare brain.”
This morning, Iran announced the start of the ninth phase of “True Promise 3” and declared that its attacks on Israel would intensify.
In retaliation for Israeli strikes on Iran, ballistic missiles launched by Iran have caused unprecedented destruction in Tel Aviv and Haifa, leaving dozens dead and hundreds injured.
In response, Israel continues its air attacks on Iran. More than 224 Iranians, including women and children, have been killed in the Israeli strikes. A thick column of smoke rose following an explosion in Tabriz, northwest of Tehran, this morning.
Last night, the Israeli air force attacked the headquarters of Iranian state television during a live broadcast.
