In a statement on Saturday, the Corps said the 73rd wave of the operation targeted both southern and northern parts of the occupied territories.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n The statement said the strikes were carried out in tribute to the bravery of the martyrs of the Islamic Republic's air defense sector, using missile and drone systems operated by the IRGC's Aerospace Force.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n According to the IRGC, military installations and security centers in Arad, Dimona, Eilat, Be’er Sheva, and Kiryat Gat were struck following the collapse of Israeli air defense systems.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n It added that US military bases in the region, namely Ali al-Salem in Kuwait as well as al-Minhad and al-Dhafra in the United Arab Emirates, were also targeted.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n The 73rd wave deployed Fattah, Qadr, and Emad missile systems, along with attack drones.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n Reports of casualties and media restrictions<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n The statement cited field reports indicating that more than 200 people were killed or injured in the early hours of the latest stage of the reprisal.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n It also said that Zionist authorities had stepped up pressure on journalists and eyewitnesses to censor coverage of damage and casualty figures.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n Hezbollah’s role highlighted<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n The IRGC praised the "proud efforts" of fighters of Lebanon's Hezbollah resistance movement, saying they were defending Lebanon’s territorial integrity, while opening a "tough and high-pressure battlefront" against northern and central areas of the occupied territories.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n The statement, therefore, extended congratulations to the Lebanese people and Muslims in the region.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n The Corps described the situation of illegal settlers in the occupied territories as "dire and forsaken," attributing this to prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's war cabinet's incendiary policies.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n The settlers' security, it added, has particularly been compromised in areas where nuclear and military facilities are located near residential zones.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n 'Equations of war' shifting<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n The IRGC concluded by asserting, "The equations of war are rapidly changing," and added that control over the defense of the occupied territories by the Israeli military was “collapsing.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n The statement came after, despite widespread censorship of the real toll of an Iranian missile strike targeting Dimona, local reports indicated that dozens had been killed in the reprisal.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n The city is famous for being outfitted with extreme protective means due to its hosting the regime's notorious Dimona nuclear reactor in its vicinity.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n Official sources have reported nearly 50 injured. However, the deployment of dozens of ambulances and several military helicopters to evacuate those affected has suggested that local accounts might be closer to reality.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n Meanwhile, Israeli paper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that, due to the Iranian retaliation, the regime's so-called "home front" experienced its "most difficult night" since February 28. The day saw the Islamic Republic's Armed Forces begin unrelenting and decisive counterstrikes in the face of Tel Aviv's and Washington's most recent bout of unprovoked aggression targeting the Iranian soil.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/p>","content_source":"","content_url":"","content_date_start":"2026-03-22 11:51:14","content_date_event":"2026-03-22 11:51:14","content_date_event_start":null,"content_date_event_end":null,"content_show_title_slider":1,"content_date_last_edit":"2026-03-22 11:52:12","content_date_register":"2026-03-22 11:52:12","content_columns":0,"content_show_img":1,"content_show_details":0,"content_show_related_img":0,"content_show_slider":1,"content_comment":1,"content_score":0,"tag_id":0,"score_average":null,"score_count":null,"score_date_last":null,"uid":43,"eid":0,"attach_title":"'Equations of war changing':\r\n\r\nIRGC says hundreds killed, injured in latest wave of Op.
