‍ Iranian media: The camp that was targeted is the Fath camp in Islamshahr, which is empty and used only for cinematic filming. The Prophet Yusuf series was filmed there.

There were Israeli attempts to target 3 bases in Tehran province, but Iranian air defenses confronted them

The sounds of explosions heard in Tehran were related to air defense activity.

*It's not clear if they used mini quadcopters again...*

I’m not following this at all. Where are the strikes landing etc? Suppose we have to wait for satellite images tomorrow if most sites located in desert or isolated areas. It looks like Iranian AD might have actually intercepted some??? Wonder was that their systems or from the Russian supplied systems.
This can’t be it though from israel??

Iran needs to go to war . Especially on the ground .

In the West they are already writing that the Iranian AD was powerless. There were a lot of ground explosions visible, so a lot of targets were hit.

I saw one clip of a distant ground explosion in the Tehran district I believe. I can’t find any others, have you got?

This is complete failure for the izraeli terrorists .

Sky News Arabia source: Russia provided intelligence to Iran hours before the start of the Israeli attack

Iran's Tasnim News Agency: No IRGC military center in Tehran was targeted

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid says decision not to attack strategic, economic targets in Iran was 'wrong'

Iranian attack vs izraeli attack

Think we might need to wait for before/after sat pics before we make any judgement on effectiveness.

TG is crying a river about "unknown AD system involved" already, so ...
Anyway, it seems that Israeli public opinion is being fed with some phantasies about "mighty attack", while the situation on the ground looks rather pathetic.

Teheran was hit by at least one thing, fire not big, could even be remains of an intercepted missiles. It's been 6 hours and nothing more in Teheran. So it's a failed attack there.

Let's wait for Iranian bases pictures as there should be far less people around them to record attacks.

Some israeli accounts report 2 iranian air defence operators dead.

Iran had plenty of time to evacuate and move sensitive AD vehicles after Russia briefed them on the attack. All the GPS guided missile probably hit empty areas.

We should see the results today from satelitte images.

I only saw what appear to be a number of successful interceptions. Please show us some footage of the "lot of ground explosions".

Why is it flying so low? It just makes itself vulnerable to MANPADS and other short range defenses.
I thought it was a stealth plane

Teheran was hit! I think Teheran is a bit bigger than a small fire against a retaining wall! The homeless in Detroit makes bigger fires than that just to keep warm.

Most of it is not interceptions but donations of AD rounds.

If they have intercepted anything, it is unclear to me from this footage.

What missiles did Israel use to attack? Incredible F 35s attacked from Jordanian territory

Confirmed: two air defence operator were killed. We can assume an AD vehicle was hit. I would go for something like a Streka-10 system or other Shorad. Bigger systems have more operators inside them.

Unfortunately I can't always open Telegram videos on my PC but here is a nice video posted above by Ahmedfire comparing the Iranian attack to the Israeli one

Anyway here you can clearly see a good couple of intercepts on the video shown to the right.
