Prominent targets have included the city of Tel Aviv, the occupied holy city of al-Quds, the occupied port of Haifa, and Be'er Sheva, the Israeli regime's hub of advanced technology.

American outposts across West Asia, including those lying in Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Kuwait, have also come under intense counterstrikes.

The reprisal, codenamed Operation True Promise 4, has been deploying hundreds of ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles as well as attack drones.
