Israel ‘Froze’ Iranian Radars During Attack, Tehran Says 'Minor Damages Repaired Immediately'

Israel had reportedly breached Iranian radar systems just moments before the IDF launched its attack on Iran on Oct. 26. The reported breach even led to Iranian radar screens freezing on the night of attack, Israeli broadcaster KAN reported.
Due to this possible breach, Iran's ability to intercept targets was limited, KAN reported citing Iranian sources. The move is said to have allowed the Israeli air force jets to penetrate Iranian airspace.
Prior to launching the attack on Iran, Israel conducted a preliminary strike on radar targets in Syria aimed at "blinding" Iran's capabilities. This attack on Syrian radar targets allowed Israel to escalate into an offensive targeting Tehran and an additional strategic location.
The Israeli operation likely began with initial waves attacking radar and air defense systems to clear the path for subsequent strikes on military bases. The earlier coordinated strike in Syria neutralised similar threats and prevented Iran from building situational awareness of Israel's offensive plans.
