Ali Khamenei called on Iran's army to 'pursue military innovation and learn the enemy's tactics' as the US moves closer to approving billions in military aid for Israel
“How many missiles were launched and how many of them hit their target is not the primary question, what really matters is that Iran demonstrated its will-power during that operation,” Khamenei said. A satellite image purportedly showing evidence of damage to the Iranian S-300PMU2 strategic surface-to-air missile battery at an air base in Isfahan on its territory – said last week that it wanted to see Hamas defeated in the city but was concerned about “various courses of action”.
It claims that around two-thirds of the casualties are women and children, and says the real toll is likely to be higher as many bodies are trapped under the rubble. The IDF rarely comments on individual strikes, and says it has killed more than 13,000 Hamas fighters, without providing evidence.
