Iran claims missile and drone attacks on Ben Gurion airport, Israeli air base

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said on Thursday it launched heavy Khorramshahr-4 missiles with one-ton warheads targeting Ben Gurion airport and an adjacent Israeli air force base in Tel Aviv.

In a statement carried by the Tasnim news agency, the IRGC said the pre-dawn strikes struck "the heart of Tel Aviv, Ben Gurion airport and the base of the Israeli air force's 27th squadron located at the airport."

The Iranian army separately claimed responsibility for drone strikes on Thursday, including hitting a radar site. State TV quoted the army as saying the attacks targeted "targets in Tel Aviv as well as Meron radar base" in northern Israel.

The claims could not be independently verified. There was no immediate comment from Israeli authorities.
