Tehran: Iran’s Armed Forces have issued a stark warning to residents of the Israeli-occupied territories, urging them to evacuate as the region is expected to become uninhabitable due to ongoing Iranian military strikes. Colonel Reza Sayyad, spokesperson for the Armed Forces, emphasized this message on Sunday following a fresh wave of Iranian attacks targeting the entire Israeli-held areas.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, the Iranian military has been systematically targeting sensitive sites within Israel, leveraging an extensive database of potential targets. Colonel Sayyad highlighted that these include military and security locations, decision-making centers, and the residences of key Israeli commanders and military scientists. He cautioned the Israeli populace against being used as human shields by their government and warned that seeking refuge underground would not guarantee safety.

The series of events leading to the current escalation began with Israeli strikes on Iranian territory on June 13. These unprovoked attacks included bombings of residential buildings and resulted in the assassination of top Iranian military officials and civilian casualties. In response, Iranian forces have been conducting retaliatory strikes on major Israeli cities such as Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Haifa, causing significant disruption to daily life in the occupied territories.

Iranian leadership, including Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, has vowed to continue these operations until their objectives are met. Despite attempts by Israeli authorities to censor information, evidence of precise Iranian strikes has surfaced, illustrating the ongoing conflict’s intensity. The situation remains tense as Iran maintains its military campaign against Israel.
