Трекер конфликта на Ближнем Востоке

The Israeli Air Force launched a massive wave of airstrikes targeting 10 Hezbollah facilities in Beirut's southern suburb of Dahiyeh on the night of Day 16, completing the operation within 30 minutes. The IDF said targets included an intelligence headquarters, multiple command centers belonging to Hezbollah's Radwan Force, weapons storage facilities, and the IRGC Air Force headquarters in Beirut. The strikes came after the Israeli military issued fresh evacuation warnings to residents in seven Beirut neighborhoods. Large explosions and fires were reported across the southern suburbs. The Lebanese Civil Defence deployed teams to respond to the fires and structural collapses. No immediate casualty figures were reported for this specific wave, though the broader campaign has killed over 850 people in Lebanon according to the Health Ministry. The IDF stated the strikes were part of its ongoing effort to degrade Hezbollah's command and control capabilities.

Five rockets struck Baghdad International Airport and its surroundings on the evening of Day 16, wounding four employees and security personnel as well as an engineer. The projectiles landed at several locations across the sprawling airport complex, including inside the civilian airport compound, near a water treatment facility, close to an Iraqi military airbase, and near a high-security prison. The launch platform was later found hidden inside a vehicle in an area west of Baghdad. Officers responsible for security in that sector were removed from their posts. No group claimed responsibility, though Iran-aligned militias operating under the Islamic Resistance in Iraq banner have repeatedly targeted US facilities during the conflict. The US Embassy issued a security alert advising US citizens to exercise extreme caution.

The IRGC Aerospace Force launched a retaliatory salvo of 34 Shahed-136 loitering munitions targeting IDF radar installations and Northern Command bases in the Galilee and Upper Galilee, in direct response to the US B-52H strike on the IRGC 8th Ground Forces Army headquarters in Shiraz. A combination of Israeli Iron Dome batteries, David's Sling interceptors, and US Patriot PAC-3 batteries operating in coordination through the integrated regional air defense network intercepted and destroyed all 34 drones. Debris fell harmlessly in the Galilee hills and into the Mediterranean. No casualties were reported. The IDF Spokesperson's Unit confirmed the mass intercept, noting that Iran's drone launch rate had fallen 83% since the start of the conflict yet nightly barrages were continuing. Air raid sirens were sounded across the Galilee, Kiryat Shmona, and Upper Nazareth for approximately 40 minutes. IDF Northern Command placed all air defense units on heightened readiness overnight.

Israeli Air Force jets struck military targets in the northwestern Iranian city of Tabriz on the evening of Day 16, with residents reporting heavy explosions across the city. The strikes were part of the IDF's expanded campaign targeting Iranian military infrastructure in western and central Iran. Tabriz, the capital of East Azerbaijan province, hosts IRGC air defense installations and military command facilities. Explosions were heard near military installations on the outskirts of the city. Iranian state media confirmed the strikes but did not provide immediate casualty figures. The attack on Tabriz marks an expansion of the IDF campaign to northwestern Iran, following intensive strikes on Hamedan, Isfahan, Shiraz, and western Tehran earlier in the day. Iranian civil defense teams were deployed across the city to respond to fires and structural damage.

US Air Force B-52H Stratofortress bombers flying from Diego Garcia conducted a sustained strike package on the IRGC 8th Ground Forces Army base at Shiraz's northern outskirts, the main IRGC command hub for southern Iran and the Strait of Hormuz operational zone. The strike employed 24 JDAM-ER precision-guided munitions targeting barracks, command bunkers, armored vehicle parks, and the base's communications array. CENTCOM confirmed the operation in a statement, citing the base's role in coordinating Gulf shipping harassment and Hormuz mining operations. HRANA documented 38 IRGC personnel killed including the 8th Army's deputy chief of staff Brigadier General Reza Hasani, and 95 wounded. A secondary explosion from an ammunition depot caused additional casualties and could be seen from Shiraz city centre. Shiraz hospitals declared emergency protocols. Iran's state media described the attack as "a war crime against the Islamic Republic's defensive infrastructure."
