During a briefing on the situation that day, the Israeli military stated, "The Air Force carried out a concentrated airstrike on a large Iranian military complex in eastern Tehran," adding, "More than 100 fighter jets were mobilized to drop over 250 munitions on this facility."

The Israeli military claimed that the complex houses the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the elite Quds Force, the intelligence agency, the Basij militia, the cyber unit, the Iranian military’s internet operations unit, and units responsible for suppressing anti-government protests.

Military authorities stated, "This airstrike was conducted while officials of the Iranian terrorist regime — who are responsible for planning and managing terror operations targeting Israel and other countries in the region, as well as oppressing their own citizens — were active at the site."

Colonel Aleph, commander of the Ramat David Air Force Base in Israel, estimated that thousands of Iranian soldiers were killed in this airstrike. In a video released by the Israeli military, he stated that he personally participated in the attack and said, "Over the past two days, we have eliminated thousands of Iranian military personnel."

He also remarked, "A few seconds before dropping the bombs, I looked to either side and saw dozens of (Israeli) fighter jets flying unimpeded, releasing hundreds of precision bombs."
