Iran Launches 67th Wave — IRGC Targets Israeli Cities and US Gulf Bases

The IRGC launched the 67th wave of Operation True Promise 4, targeting Israeli population centers in central Israel and US military forward bases across the Gulf. The barrage included approximately 18 ballistic missiles and 24 drones. Gulf air defense systems — including THAAD batteries in Saudi Arabia and the UAE's Patriot network — intercepted a significant portion. The IRGC Aerospace Force confirmed the strike and stated it targeted 'military and intelligence infrastructure in the heart of occupied territories.' Israeli air raid sirens were activated across central and southern Israel. The IDF reported 4 missiles reached populated areas in central Israel, causing structural damage to residential buildings and wounding 6 civilians near Rishon LeZion. No Israeli fatalities were reported from this specific wave. The trajectory and volume of the 67th wave — at roughly 42 total projectiles — represents a further reduction from peak launch rates but a continued qualitative focus on precision and penetration. Analysts note the IRGC is increasingly reserving its most capable ballistic missile systems for high-value psychological impact strikes.
