"They can not slap us". Ya'ari said they were a development of the Fateh missile type.
Guard spokesman Gen. Ramazan Sharif told The Associated Press on Tuesday the force's "local sources and drone films say that all the six missiles the Guard launched hit their targets".
Sharif said the attacks were launched from two provinces of mostly Sunni Muslim population 'to send the message of Iranian unity against terrorism.
"This revolutionary action and punishment is absolutely clear".
"If the Iranians were trying to show their capabilities and to signal to Israel and to the Americans that these missiles are operational, the result was rather different", Channel 2 analyst Ehud Yaari said.
The move delighted the Iranian nation and gave a warning to all of those who try to threaten the country's national security, he underlined.
The IRGC fired six medium-range missiles at Daesh targets in Dayr al-Zawr, which killed more than 170 Takfiri terrorists, including a number of commanders and senior elements, and inflicted heavy damage on their equipment and systems, it added. On the one hand, Iran is making an unprecedented use of its weapons technology while on the other hand, it is targeting ISIS in supposed retaliation for the terror attack inside its own country.
Rezaei also called the missile attacks "the message of Iran's authority" to "the supporters of terrorism". They explained that their missiles were launched from Iran and flew over Iraq before landing on ISIS in Syria.
Mohammadreza Aref, the leader of the pro-reform Hope faction, praised the missile attacks on ISIS strongholds, saying it was a "response to ill-wishers of the Islamic Iran".

They traded down and gave up the chance to draft Markelle Fultz , who was the best player in the draft by far. The NBA champion Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers didn't have a pick in the two-round draft.
Also, past conduct suggests that Iran's missile strike, even as it shocked most of the world, is predictable behavior and may even have been understated.
"Those who have done wrong will find out what they have coming to them", Qasem Soleimani wrote.
While Iran said its forces deserve credit for gains made against IS, the United States and its anti-IS coalition of Western forces also have claimed credit for helping Iraqi ground forces recapture Ramadi and other cities liberated from IS in the past two years, as well as for the recent gains in Mosul.
But he warned that Iraq "should not trust" the United States, which is leading a coalition fighting IS in Iraq and neighbouring Syria.
Iran is a key ally of the Syrian government of President Bashar al-Assad, alongside Russian Federation and the Iranian-backed Hezbollah movement of Lebanon.
Murphy's remarks came two days after a US Navy fighter jet shot down a Syrian warplane for the first time, prompting Russian Federation to issue a threat against American airborne assets over Syrian airspace.
The Syrian government this month marched into Raqqa province from the west but had avoided conflict with the US -backed SDF until the latest incident.
Going one step further, the argument would note: Even if Iran's nuclear program is now delayed by its deal with the West, in around another eight years, Iran could be launching ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads attached.
