Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said they used new methods to disrupt Israeli multi-layered defense systems during an eighth wave of operations Monday, causing them to target each other.
The IRGC said that enhanced intelligence and equipment capabilities used in the "more powerful and devastating than before" attack caused Israeli defense systems to malfunction.
"The enemy's multi-layered defense systems were disrupted in such a way that the regime's defense systems targeted each other," it said.
The IRGC said their innovations led to maximum missile strikes hitting targets despite "comprehensive US and Western support" for Israel's defensive technologies.
Iran described the operation as fulfilling promises made by now-deceased commanders and said it showed that “the calculations and assessments of the Zionist enemy and the Americans against Islamic Iran were completely wrong.”
The IRGC warned that "effective, targeted and more devastating" operations against vital targets of the "fake regime" will continue until its "complete destruction."
The strikes killed and injured dozens on Monday, escalating the conflict that began when Israeli forces initially attacked Iran in the early hours of Friday, hitting nuclear and missile facilities and killing top military commanders and scientists.
