Iranian air defenses shot down several Israeli drones over the southern outskirts of Tehran, in the cities of Baghershahr and Kahrizak, according to Israeli media reports cited by Al-Qahera News.
The incident comes amid a sharp escalation in hostilities between Israel and Iran.
In a related development, Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz announced that he had instructed the Israeli military to step up its attacks on strategic targets in Tehran. Katz said the goal was to “eliminate threats directed at Israel and destabilize the Iranian regime.”
The reported drone operations near Tehran underscore the growing use of unmanned aerial systems in the ongoing conflict, raising the stakes in an already volatile regional standoff.
