Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says tonight’s fire on Israel was a “joint and integrated operation” with Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group.

In a statement carried by the Tasnim news agency, the IRGC says that it launched several ballistic missiles, while Hezbollah launched drones and rockets at over 50 targets in Israel.

In previous attacks, the IDF had said that it had no intelligence indicating concurrent fire from Iran and by Hezbollah in Lebanon was a “coordinated” effort.

The Iranian ballistic missiles — fired at central, northern, and southern Israel — during the Hezbollah rocket barrage were all intercepted by air defense systems. Hezbollah, meanwhile, fired some 150 rockets at northern Israel.
