Some of the details of the Israeli strike against Iran, which data suggests was launched from outside Iranian territory, were exposed by the remnants of an Israeli missile that is thought to have fallen on Iraqi soil.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard launched a similar attack last Saturday, using hundreds of missiles and drones to hit Israel directly. This prompted Israel to launch its own attack on Iran.
Images from the Al-Aziziya region in the central governorate of Iraq were shared on social media by Iraqis, who claimed to be the remnants of an Israeli missile. The Iraqi authorities said at early on Friday that they had found “strange objects” in their airspace, according to a Sky News Arabia correspondent.
According to Michael Clarke, a security and defense analyst for Sky News in Britain, the planes were “essentially invisible.” This suggests that long-range stealth fighters have been utilized by Israel. Clark stated earlier this week that “there are rumors that Israeli F-35s were already in Iranian airspace on surveillance missions.”
Even though the Israeli strike on Iran was carried out using stealth aircraft and maybe drones, Tehran did not strongly condemn it or even threaten to retaliate, which was seen as a sign that the two nations’ current round of escalation had come to an end.
According to Israeli claims, one or two Iranian military locations were the target of the operation. According to the website of the “Iran International” channel, sounds of explosions were audible early on Friday, April 19, at the Iranian army’s “Hashtam Shikari” facility, northwest of Isfahan.
However, the Iraqi Security Media Cell reported on Saturday that eight people, including an army man, had been wounded and that one member of the Popular Mobilization Forces—an organization connected to Iran—had been killed.
The statement made reference to an Air Defense Command report that attested to the absence of fighters or drones in Babylonian airspace both prior to and during the incident. The “Kalsu” camp is joint, according to a security source in the Babil Governorate who spoke with the Arab World News Agency.
“It includes the headquarters of the Popular Mobilization Forces’ fighting brigades, units of the Iraqi army, and others from the federal police,” the source said. The base was the target of missile strikes, not drone attacks, as the Security Committee in the Babil Governorate had earlier stated in a statement.
An Iraqi security source told Al-Arabiya and Al-Hadath that he could not confirm the existence of a missile attack on Kalsu until the attack was over, while a military official in the international coalition told the media that there is no air activity by coalition forces in Babylon, Iraq.
Look into it. Al Arabiya English was informed by an American official that Washington is unrelated to the latest attack that occurred in Babylon, Iraq. On Friday, the US military command in the Middle East, known as Centcom, declared that the US “did not carry out strikes” in Iraq. “We are aware of information claiming that the United States carried out air strikes in Iraq today,” “Centcom” posted on the “X” platform.
