BREAKING: Tension in Israel as Iran’s Ballistic Missile Hits Netanyahu’s Office

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for a missile strike that it said targeted the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, alongside a location linked to the Israeli Air Force command.

In a statement circulated on official Iranian channels, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said the action formed part of what it described as a “tenth wave” of strikes and amounted to a “targeted and surprise attack” on a government compound in Israel.

According to the IRGC, the operation involved the launch of Kheibar (Khorramshahr-4) ballistic missiles. The group said the targets included the Israeli prime minister’s office and a site associated with the command of the Israeli Air Force, The Times of Israel reported.

The statement asserted that the missiles struck a government complex, although it did not provide independent evidence or specify the extent of any damage.

Iran said the attack made use of Kheibar ballistic missiles, which belong to the Khorramshahr family developed by Iran.

The missile system is described by Iranian officials as capable of carrying heavy warheads over long distances and of breaching advanced air-defence systems.

Military analysts note that the Khorramshahr line is designed for long-range operations, with a reported reach of around 2,000 kilometres and a payload among the heaviest in Iran’s arsenal.

Israeli authorities had not immediately confirmed the IRGC’s claims at the time of reporting, and there was no official statement on whether the prime minister’s office or other sites had been damaged.

The latest development adds to heightened regional tensions, as both sides trade claims and warnings amid fears of a broader escalation, as reported by The Economic Times.
