TEHRAN - Iran's kamikaze drones of the Arash type hit and destroyed targets in Israel on Saturday morning, the semi-official Tasnim News Agency reported.

Arash is an unmanned aerial vehicle with an operational range of over 2,000 km designed and developed by Iran's military experts.

Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps said in a statement on Friday that it had launched a military operation against dozens of targets, including military centers and aerial bases in Israel, in retaliation for Israel's airstrikes, in which a number of high-ranking Iranian military commanders, prominent nuclear scientists and innocent civilians were killed earlier in the day.
