The IRGC announced this operation in a statement released on Saturday, confirming the successful completion of the 48th phase.

Notably, the operation targeting Israeli occupied territories was conducted in coordination with Lebanon's Hezbollah resistance movement.

This coordination demonstrates a coordinated regional approach to the ongoing conflict between Iran, Israel, and the United States.

The announcement comes as part of a sustained military campaign that has seen multiple waves of attacks since hostilities began late last month.

Each wave appears to build upon previous operations in terms of both scope and intensity, indicating a deliberate escalation strategy.

The latest wave of attacks targeted specific strategic locations within the occupied territories and across the region.

The IRGC identified primary targets in northern Israel, specifically focusing on Galilee, Golan Heights, and the occupied city of Haifa.

Multiple American military bases throughout the region were also struck during this stage of the conflict.

The operation employed a sophisticated mix of advanced weaponry including solid-fuel Kheibar Shekan missiles.

Liquid-fuel Qadr missiles were also used in the coordinated attacks.

Attack drones were deployed alongside the ballistic missiles for enhanced effectiveness.

This weaponry demonstrates Iran's growing military capabilities and technological advancement in missile and drone technology.

The 48th wave follows a pattern of escalating military actions by the IRGC.

The IRGC had recently completed the 47th wave on Friday, targeting different strategic locations within Israel.

The 47th wave focused on the Negev Desert, including Nevatim airbase (one of Israel's largest).

The occupied city of Be'er Sheva was also targeted, described as a technological epicenter.

The city of Lod was another location struck during the 47th wave.

The IRGC also reported hitting al-Udaid airbase in Qatar, identified as the United States' most important military installation in the West Asia region.

This multi-faceted approach demonstrates Iran's strategy of attacking both direct Israeli targets and American regional bases that support Israeli military operations.

The IRGC has emphasized the psychological impact of its operations on Israeli-occupied territories.

The Corps noted the 'siren to siren and a scramble to enter shelters' as the current state of Israeli residents.

This highlights the psychological toll of the continuous attacks on civilian populations.

In an escalation of psychological warfare, the IRGC has begun sending Hebrew text messages to residents.

One warning message stated: 'By the permission of God, we will bring upon you days of darkness in which you will wish for death, but you will not find it.'

These messages represent a deliberate attempt to instill fear and anxiety among the civilian population.

The psychological campaign appears designed to complement the physical military strikes.

Iranian political leadership has reinforced the nation's uncompromising stance toward the conflict.

“Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Iran now makes no distinction between the United States and Israel following escalating conflict, accusing both nations of acting jointly against the Iranian people Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump, Pic/AFP Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has asserted that the Islamic Republic now views the United States and the Israeli regime as indistinguishable regarding the severity of their actions against the Iranian people”

Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf declared that Iran no longer makes 'any distinction' between the United States and Israel.

This statement reflects Iran's view that both nations are equally responsible for actions against the Iranian people.

Ghalibaf accused US President Donald Trump of being 'duped by Netanyahu into starting the war'.

He claimed Trump is 'now acting under his control,' suggesting both nations are jointly responsible.

The Speaker maintained that 'the war will continue until the enemy's calculus is altered and they are driven to regret.'

This indicates a long-term commitment to the military campaign until fundamental policy changes occur.
