Iran’s Air Defense Capabilities Incurred Significant Damage, Will Take Years To Restore
October 27, 2024 @ 7:10 am Yeshiva World News – After more than three weeks of waiting, on Friday night after midnight, the Israeli Air Force launched Operation Days of Repentance, targeting strategic sites deep in Iran.
Kan News reported that Israel is maintaining silence about the damage caused in Iran to the 20 targeted sites but sources familiar with the matter have stated that significant damage was inflicted on Iran’s air defense systems and ballistic missile production capabilities. Ynet reported that IRGC command facilities incurred significant damage as well.
The Saudi Elaph site reported that Israel hit an important factory used for the production of Iranian ballistic missiles. A source knowledgeable about the details claimed that Israel targeted a solid fuel production plant used to propel the ‘Khyber’ and ‘Qassem’ missiles, known for being fired towards Israel in the Iranian assault on October 1st.
The source emphasized that this factory is considered the “backbone of Iran’s missile industry” and claimed that “Israel rendered it inoperable.”
Reports indicate that four buildings at the covert military facility located in Parchin near Tehran were damaged. The facility is regarded as relatively new and advanced, and it is believed to have been used by Iran as part of its nuclear program.
According to the same source, about 20 “planetary mixers” [a key component in fuel production for ballistic missiles] were destroyed, each valued at least two million dollars. Experts familiar with Iran’s missile industry told the Saudi site that it would take at least two years to restore the factory to operation.
Channel 12 News reported that more details are expected to emerge later, but for now, it can be concluded that Iran’s air defense capabilities have been damaged to an extent that will take years to restore.
The impact on Iran’s air defense system allows the Israeli Air Force unprecedented operational freedom over Iran will facilitate further strikes in the future.
The attack also caused significant damage to Iran’s production capabilities of ground-to-ground missiles—damage that will take the regime years to recover from.
According to Channel 12, the strike in Iran is not only an act of retaliation for the attack on October 1st but also an opportunity for Israel and momentum for further attacks.
Iran has tried to downplay the reports on the scale of the attack, but footage from Iran reveals the extensive damage caused to the bases.
According to the Kan report, the attack utilized capabilities that the Israeli Air Force built over two decades – in operational, aerial, and intelligence aspects.
Dozens of fighter jets, refuelers, and intelligence planes participated in the attack, flying about 1,500 kilometers. The Air Force has conducted many long-range strike exercises in recent weeks, including flights in various formations, with refueling carried out en route to the target. According to protocol, the planes were armed with different types of munitions, some carrying bombs and others missiles for interception to secure the planes in the air and to enable air combat. Based on past experience from the Air Force’s strikes in Yemen, many squadrons participated in the attack with a variety of aircraft, each with different capabilities according to their missions.
“This is one of Israel’s most successful operations to date,” a senior Israeli official told Ynet. “All designated targets were hit and damaged. It was a show of strength that has bolstered deterrence.”
“The logic here is not just deterrence but also securing an advantage should further rounds of blows arise,” the official continued. “Iran’s ground-to-ground missile production capabilities have been disrupted for a considerable period, a significant achievement. After this operation, Iran is left weaker, with compromised defenses and diminished production capacity. We’ve created new strategic room for action while enhancing deterrence.”

Glilot Ramming: ‘Judge worried about terrorist’s rehabilitation process’
The terrorist had been arrested previously but released due to fears that prison would be detrimental for his mental condition.
Oct 27, 2024, 1:09 PM (GMT+2) Israel National News – According to journalist Avishai Grinzaig, the terrorist who committed the mass ramming attack at Glilot Junction today had a criminal background already, but was not sent to prison.
According to the report, he was convicted in the past of stealing a truck from the company he worked for, while staging a robbery. Four years ago, he was sentenced to nine months of community service.
“The judge was impressed by his sincere remorse and desire to rehabilitate, and expressed concern that sending him to prison behind bars would set him back from the rehabilitation process,” Grinzaig reported.
In the attack, a truck rammed a bus at a crowded stop. Initial estimates indicated as many as fifty casualties, some trapped in the bus, with various degrees of injury.

October 26, 2024 @ 4:04 pm ET Jewish Breaking News
Following Israel’s operation against Iran earlier this morning, here’s an overview of the strikes and their impact. The IDF operation, “Days of Repentance,” involved around 100 aircraft, including F-35s, F-15s, and F-16s, and was carried out in several waves across multiple strategic locations. A squadron with female combat navigators played a crucial role in bombing Iranian facilities 🇮🇱💥.
Initial strikes targeted air defense systems in Syria and Iraq to reduce interception risks. Missile debris was later found near Samarra, Iraq. The primary focus was Iran’s missile production sites, including the Bardisan Camp near Qom and the Shahriar base of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. The secretive Parchin military base near Tehran was also struck, with reports of successful hits despite air defense attempts. Additional strikes targeted military installations in Tartus, Syria 🇸🇾.
Iran reported damage to an S-300 air defense battery and several Revolutionary Guard missile bases. Iranian state media confirmed four military personnel casualties. Although early morning explosions rattled Tehran 🌆, officials are downplaying the impact. Iran’s military confirmed the strikes came from Iraqi airspace, claiming they intercepted many incoming missiles, calling them “minimal warheads.” Radar systems across Tehran and other provinces were damaged, and Iran reserved the right to respond ⚠️.
Iranian media downplayed the scope of the Israeli attack, calling reports of 100 jets involved “lies” while claiming Israel didn’t cross Iranian airspace ✈️. Meanwhile, President Biden noted Israel’s precise targeting of military assets, avoiding nuclear and oil facilities at the US’s request. Israel confirmed all aircraft returned safely and warned any retaliation would result in an intensified response 🚨. – Bernie

🇮🇱 SHAVUA TOV – BREAKING: Israel Launches Retaliatory Strike on Iran Targeting Military Sites
October 26, 2024 @ 11:50 am ET Jewish Breaking News – In the early hours of Saturday morning, Israel executed a long-anticipated retaliatory strike against Iran, marking one of the most significant escalations in the region in recent years. The Israeli Air Force (IAF) conducted precise strikes on strategic military targets, including facilities involved in the manufacturing and launching of drones and ballistic missiles, as well as air defense systems. 🇮🇷 Reports of powerful explosions near Tehran began circulating around 2:15 a.m. local time, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) swiftly confirming the operation in response to ongoing Iranian attacks.
The strikes, launched over several hours and waves, hit targets across Iran, including in Tehran, Karaj, Isfahan, and Shiraz. Iran temporarily closed its airspace as the assault unfolded, showing little ability to counter the sustained attack. The operation, titled “Days of Repentance” in reference to the recent Yom Kippur holiday, demonstrated unprecedented scale, precision, and Israel’s immediate acknowledgment of responsibility for the offensive. ✈️
The first wave of attacks targeted Iranian air defense capabilities to ensure the freedom of Israeli aircraft during the operation and prepare for any potential retaliatory moves by Iran. Subsequent waves focused on sites responsible for producing and launching drones and missiles used in Iranian attacks on Israel on April 14 and October 1. While Iran claimed that its air defenses mitigated much of the damage, Israel firmly dismissed these assertions, emphasizing the success of the operation. 💥
By 6 a.m., the Israeli military announced the completion of the assault, with “all goals achieved” and all participating aircraft safely returned. The IDF stated that dozens of IAF aircraft, including fighter jets, refueling tankers, and reconnaissance planes, participated in the complex operation, targeting sites over 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) from Israel. The strikes have reportedly expanded the IAF’s operational freedom in Iranian airspace, giving Israel a broader range of future targets. 🎯
The IDF stressed that the attack was a direct response to “months of continuous attacks” by the Iranian regime on Israel, specifically pointing to Tehran’s actions since October 7, when Iranian-backed forces opened up multiple fronts against Israel. “Like every other sovereign nation, the State of Israel has the right and duty to defend itself,” the IDF declared, adding that Israel is fully prepared to respond to any further escalation. ⚔️
Following the strikes, the Israeli military held an assessment on potential Iranian responses, although no immediate changes were made to civilian guidelines. IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari made it clear that Israel’s offensive and defensive capabilities are fully mobilized, warning that any further aggression from Iran would be met with severe consequences. “Iran has struck Israel twice, and now they have paid the price,” Hagari said. He emphasized that while Israel remains focused on its campaigns in Gaza and Lebanon, it will not hesitate to confront Iran if the regime continues to push for a broader regional conflict. 🛡️
A senior Israeli official praised the intelligence behind the operation, calling it “beyond imagination” and comparing the precision of the intel to something out of science fiction. Israel’s defense leadership, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, closely monitored the operation from IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv, underscoring the high level of coordination involved in the assault.
As Israel remains on high alert for any potential retaliation, the message from its military leadership is clear: those who threaten the State of Israel will face decisive and overwhelming force.

The IDF Completed Strikes on Military Targets in Iran
October 26, 2024 Israel Defense Forces – A short while ago, the IDF completed precise and targeted strikes against military targets in a number of areas in Iran. Our planes have safely returned home.
The strike was conducted in response to the attacks by the Iranian regime against the State of Israel and its citizens in recent months. The retaliatory strike has been completed and the mission was fulfilled.
Based on intelligence, IAF aircraft struck missile manufacturing facilities used to produce the missiles that Iran fired at the State of Israel over the last year. These missiles posed a direct and immediate threat to the citizens of the State of Israel. Simultaneously, the IDF struck surface-to-air missile arrays and additional Iranian aerial capabilities, that were intended to restrict Israel’s aerial freedom of operation in Iran.
Iran fired hundreds of missiles directly toward the State of Israel during two attacks in April and October, and funds and directs terrorist activity through its terror proxies throughout the Middle East, in order to attack the State of Israel and its citizens.
Alongside Iran’s efforts to attack the State of Israel, Iran acts to undermine regional stability and security, and the global economy.
The IDF has a range of offensive operational capabilities, some of which were deployed today during the strikes on strategic assets deep within Iranian territory.
The State of Israel reserves the right to defend its citizens if the Iranian regime continues attacks against the State of Israel and its civilians.
The IDF is conducting ongoing situational assessments and is ready to conduct defensive and offensive action.
There is currently no change to the Home Front Defensive Guidelines. The public is asked to continue following the guidelines.
