In a devastating precision strike on day 29 of the 2026 US-Iran war, Iran has destroyed Israel’s largest weapons production complex using its advanced Fattah 2 hypersonic missiles.
The target was the sprawling Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) mega-facility in central Israel — the country’s primary center for developing and manufacturing missiles, drones, fighter jet components, and Iron Dome systems. Iranian military sources say multiple Fattah 2 hypersonic missiles, traveling at extreme speeds with high maneuverability, penetrated Israeli air defenses and slammed directly into critical production halls, ᴀssembly lines, and underground storage bunkers.
Mᴀssive explosions and raging fires engulfed the facility, with secondary detonations continuing for hours as stored munitions and rocket fuel ignited. Thick black smoke rose high into the sky over central Israel as emergency crews struggled to contain the blaze. Israeli officials have confirmed “heavy damage” to key infrastructure, admitting that production of several advanced weapon systems has been severely disrupted or completely halted.
Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps spokesmen hailed the strike as another major success in “Operation Larijani Revenge,” calling it a direct response to Israeli aggression and the ᴀssᴀssination of senior Iranian officials.
This latest blow adds to Iran’s growing list of battlefield triumphs: the Al-Qadr missile strike on a U.S. carrier strike group in the Strait of Hormuz, destruction of five U.S. KC-135 tankers at Prince Sultan Air Base, downing of three F-22 Raptors, successful 2-ton hypersonic penetration of the Iron Dome, cluster attacks that devastated Tel Aviv, and the burning of large US and Israeli weapons stockpiles.
U.S. Central Command reports nearly 200 American troops injured across the region with 13 confirmed deaths. President Donald Trump has again admitted the U.S. and Israel were caught off guard by the effectiveness of Iran’s hypersonic arsenal.
The USS Tripoli remains on station off Iran’s coast attempting to secure the Strait of Hormuz, where burning tankers continue to disrupt global energy flows. Brent crude stays locked above $112 per barrel.
With Israel’s most important weapons factory now in flames, Iran has struck at the very heart of Israel’s military-industrial power. The balance of this conflict continues to shift with every pᴀssing day.
