Air Defense Gear Hit in Israeli Attack Return to Service, Iranian Commander Says

Islam Times - A lawmaker quoted the commander of the Iranian Army’s Air Defense Force as saying that whatever equipment damaged in an Israeli military attack on October 26 have returned to service.

Speaking to Tasnim, the spokesperson for the Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission gave details of a meeting that the commission’s members held with Air Defense Commander Brigadier General Alireza Sabahifard in Tehran on Monday, November 11.

Ebrahim Rezaei said the general mentioned in the meeting that the Israeli regime had sought to paralyze or destroy the Iranian air defenses in the October 26 strike, but it failed to do so.

The commander noted that the Iranian Air Defense facilities did not sustain serious damages in the Israeli attack, the MP said.

Rezaei said the commander also stressed that not a single warplane entered Iran’s airspace during the Israeli attack due to the country’s air defense power, adding that anything hit in the strike has returned to service.

In the early hours of October 26, the Zionist regime attacked a number of military sites in Iran, which resulted in the martyrdom of four servicemen and a civilian.

In remarks on October 27, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei emphasized the necessity of disrupting the flawed calculations of the Zionist regime regarding Iran.

"They’re making a miscalculation with respect to Iran… our officials should be the ones to assess and precisely apprehend what needs to be done and do whatever is in the best interests of this country and nation. They (the enemy) must be made to realize who the Iranian people are and what the Iranian youth are like," the Leader added.
