In recent days, one of the IRGC’s central military infrastructure sites was recently struck, located within the compound of Imam Hossein University - the IRGC’s primary military academic institution, which also serves as an emergency asset for the regime’s military bodies.
Under civilian cover, research and development for advanced weaponry were conducted within the university.
Due to its direct affiliation with the IRGC and its involvement in advancing terrorist activity, several countries have imposed sanctions on the university and its senior officials. The university is commanded by Mohammad Reza Hassani Shahnegari, a senior IRGC officer holding a rank equivalent to Brigadier General.
Shahnegari directs and oversees the university’s activities, leads officer training, and is responsible for force buildup.
During the operation, the IDF struck military infrastructure within the university multiple times in order to inflict significant damage to the regime’s weapons production and development capabilities.
Following the completion of the recent strikes, the military infrastructure destroyed by the IDF can now be revealed:
* Wind tunnels constructed beneath the university, used by the regime for testing and development of ballistic missiles
* The chemistry center of Imam Hossein University, used by the regime for research and development of chemical weapons
* The technology and engineering center of the mechanics and development group, a central complex used by the regime for the development of ballistic missiles and additional weapons

IDF: Hezbollah military operatives exploited paramedic cover alongside an ambulance in southern Lebanon
On Saturday, the IDF struck a cell of Hezbollah military operatives who were dressed as paramedics and operated near an ambulance in southern Lebanon.
The military operatives targeted in the strike systematically used ambulances to transfer weapons between northern to southern Lebanon, as part of ongoing terrorist activities, using the ambulances to conduct terror attacks against IDF soldiers and the State of Israel.
In the past month alone, dozens of rockets have been launched toward the State of Israel and at IDF soldiers from areas in which these terrorists operated, while they exploited ambulances and medical infrastructure for military purposes.
The use of ambulances and medical teams to conceal terrorist activities constitutes a severe violation of international law.
Under IDF directives and in accordance with international law, medical teams are afforded special protection, provided they do not engage in hostile acts outside their humanitarian duties and subject to the conditions established under the law.
This incident serves as another example of Hezbollah’s cynical and systematic use of medical infrastructure and civilians for military purposes.

During waves of airstrikes over the past two days in Tehran, approximately 40 weapons production and research facilities were struck:
Yesterday, the Israeli Air Force, acting on precise IDF intelligence, completed a wave of strikes against infrastructure belonging to the Iranian regime across Tehran.
As part of the strikes, more than 80 munitions were deployed against the regime’s weapons production sites. Among the targets struck were:
* A facility used for assembling long-range surface-to-air missiles, which pose a threat to the Israeli Air Force’s freedom of aerial operation.
* A site for manufacturing weapon components required for the development of anti-tank missiles and small anti-aircraft missiles.
* A facility for the production, research, and development of ballistic missile engines.
Over the past two days, the IDF has intensified its strikes against the regime’s production sites in Tehran, targeting approximately 40 facilities involved in the production, research, and development of weaponry in large-scale aerial operations.
The IDF will continue to deepen the damage to the regime’s military industries in order to deny the production capabilities it has built over the years.
