The logistical headquarters of the Israeli Military Intelligence Unit, known as ‘Aman,’ has been destroyed in the latest phase of Iran’s retaliatory operation ‘True Promise III’.
Another facility associated with the Unit 8200 was also targeted in the same operation.In a statement on Tuesday, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) confirmed the successful strike on the Israeli Military Intelligence Unit 8200 at the Glilot base near Tel Aviv.
“In the early hours of today, Tuesday, 17 June, IRGC aerospace division, in an impact-oriented operation, despite the presence of highly advanced defense systems, struck the Zionist regime’s military intelligence center known as Aman and the center for planning terror operations and evils of the Zionist regime (Mossad) in Tel Aviv, and this center is currently burning,” read the statement.
Images circulating on social media on Tuesday showed the ‘Aman’ logistics center, part of the Israeli military intelligence complex in Glilot near Tel Aviv, up in flames.
Aman is known as one of the oldest intelligence organizations that was established soon after the illegitimate Zionist entity came into existence. Its main mission is to gather and supply intelligence to the Israeli regime and its spy agency, Mossad, for its terror and sabotage attacks across the world, including in Iran.
The logistical headquarters of the Israeli Military Intelligence Unit, known as ‘Aman,’
Aman includes high-tech spying units that enable specialized military attacks like Unit 8200 (Signals Intelligence), Unit 504 (Human Intelligence), and Unit 9900 (Geospatial Intelligence).
Despite the blanket ban on publication of images related to losses suffered by the regime in the ongoing Operation True Promise III, carried out by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), many videos were leaked showing the Aman center enveloped in raging flames.
The attack was carried out early on Tuesday, the ninth phase of Operation True Promise III that began on Friday night after the Israeli regime assassinated several top-ranking Iranian military commanders, nuclear scientists and civilians, including women and children.
700 Ballistic Missiles and Drones: Iran Largest Attack on Israel
On the night of June 17, 2025, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced the start of the ninth wave of Operation True Promise 3 against Israel.
The attack will continue until dawn and will include a massive launch of ballistic missiles and drones, according to Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency. The IRGC announcement comes amid an ongoing conflict sparked by Israel’s Operation Rising Lion, launched on June 13 to neutralize Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure. The escalation threatens to spiral into a full-scale regional war, alarming the international community and destabilizing global markets.
According to Reuters, Iran has launched more than 700 missiles and drones at Israel since the start of the conflict, hitting Tel Aviv, Haifa and military bases including Ramat David.
The Times of Israel reports that Iranian strikes killed 47 people in Israel, including civilians, while Israeli strikes killed more than 400 people in Iran, according to the Tasnim news agency. The ninth wave of Operation True Promise 3, according to an IRGC spokesman, includes the use of new Shahed-107 loitering munitions with a range of up to 1,500 km, allowing Iran to threaten not only Israel but also other regional targets.
Iran Destroys Israel’s Largest Oil Refinery: It No Longer Works
The escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran has reached a new peak: the largest oil refinery of the Bazan Group in Haifa has completely stopped operations after a massive missile attack by Iran. This was reported by the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, citing an official statement from the company.
Iran has published a video of a 3D model showing the city of Tel Aviv, including all the target banks with the smallest and most critical details that may be hit in the coming days.
The attack, which occurred on the night of June 17, 2025, damaged a power plant that is essential for supplying energy to the refinery’s production facilities, causing all facilities in the complex to close.
According to Israeli TV station Channel 14, the situation at the plant is assessed as critical: the infrastructure has suffered significant damage and three employees were killed in the attack.
The Bazan Group notified the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange of the suspension of operations, noting that in addition to the power plant, other facilities were also damaged, which exacerbates the crisis in the Israeli energy sector.
