The Iranian Army has announced a new wave of drone operations targeting strategic industrial and communication centers linked to Israel.

In a statement on Tuesday, the Army said its forces had launched retaliatory strikes in response to recent attacks by Israel and the United States on Iran’s vital infrastructure.

According to the statement, since early Tuesday, the Iranian forces have carried out drone strikes against key industrial, telecommunications, and communications facilities associated with companies such as Siemens, Telecom, and AT&T.

The targets were located in areas including Ben Gurion Airport and Haifa.

The statement said an industrial software center affiliated with Siemens, situated in central occupied territories near Ben Gurion Airport, focuses on advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and industrial automation.

They awarded K.G.M. $3 million in compensatory damages, finding Meta 70% responsible for harm caused to the now 20-year-old plaintiff, and YouTube responsible for 30%.
