During the strike on Iran, Israel attacked the Russian S-300 air defense system.

On Friday, October 26, 2024, the Israeli army launched strikes on Iranian military targets in response to missile attacks from Tehran. Among the targets hit was the Russian-made S-300 air defense system supplied to the Iranian regime by Moscow. This is confirmed by satellite images published by the Mintel World project. The air defense system that was shot at was located near the Iranian capital. “After examining the first records from Iran, it was determined that Israeli forces attacked the S-300 air defense system south of Tehran,” the report said.

The Israeli army said the strikes on Iran were in response to months of continuous attacks by Tehran. The Israeli air force carried out several waves of strikes that lasted about four hours at night, Kyiv time. More than a hundred fighters were involved in the operation. The targets of the attack were several military facilities in the Tehran area, as well as the IRGC command post.

According to media reports, shortly before the Israeli attack, Iran received information from Russia about the IDF's plans. However, the Iranian authorities were not going to respond to the latest blow from Israel and sent an appropriate signal to Arab intermediaries to convey information to Israel and the United States.
