The BBC’s team posted screencaps of Iranian state TV footage -which it claimed was minutes ago in “Israel”- and the old footage of the fire in Chile, which date back to February 2024.

Iran fired hundreds of drones and missiles on “Israel” Saturday night, in a retaliatory strike for an earlier airstrike by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) that targeted the Iranian consular annex in Damascus, Syria which left seven Iranian revolutionary guards dead, including senior general Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a commander in the Quds Force in Syria and Lebanon.

IOF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari disclosed in a press briefing Sunday the outcomes of the Iranian assault on “Israel” - saying that 99 percent of the Iranian attacks were successfully intercepted.

He further noted that a minor portion of ballistic missiles breached the “Israeli” airspace.

Hagari highlighted that Iran's attempt to dismantle the military base in the Negev was unsuccessful, emphasizing that the missiles launched from Iraq did not breach the territory's airspace.
