The Iranian Armed Forces have launched a drone strike at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, hitting fuel tanks and the refueling infrastructure of military aircraft. This was announced on March 21 by the SNN TV channel.

"Drones of the army of the Islamic Republic of Iran have attacked the military infrastructure of the Zionist regime in the occupied territories, including fuel tanks and bases for refueling aircraft of enemy fighters at Ben Gurion Airport," the Telegram channel said.

According to the Iranian side, the attack seriously disrupted the refueling process of military aircraft, the operation of the airport and the movement of military personnel. It is reported that the transfer of forces is now carried out by rail.

In addition to the fuel infrastructure, Ben Gurion Airport is also used as a base for special forces and the Israeli Air Force, and aircraft manufacturing plants and military aviation repair centers are located in its vicinity, the Iranian military said.
