In retaliation to direct rockets and missile attacks from Iran on Sunday morning, the Israeli military conducted strikes inside Iran in the early hours of Friday. The attack included the launch of over 300 rockets and missiles directly from within Iran.
The Israeli government had pledged to respond decisively to the earlier attacks carried out by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), despite Israel successfully intercepting most of the drones before they reached Israeli territory. The strikes occurred on Friday morning, targeting multiple locations in Syria, Iraq, and Iran simultaneously.
According to reports, Israeli airstrikes hit a military base near the city of Isfahan in central Iran, triggering the activation of local air defense systems.
Iranian media and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that no nuclear facilities were targeted or destroyed during the Israeli attacks. This marks the first time in history that Israel has directly attacked Iran.
The Israeli government has yet to release an official statement about the incident.
From the information given, it’s obvious that media reports from both countries seem to be downplaying the extent of the attacks, possibly as a means to de-escalate tensions and prevent further conflict between the two countries and their allies. A commendable act indeed!!
