The Israel Defense Forces carried out strikes on Iran’s military targets in retaliation for ongoing attacks by the Iranian regime, which had bombed Israel to avenge Hassan Nasrallah’s death.
With a ‘precise’ strike, the IDF declared its mission accomplished. In response, Tehran vowed revenge, stating that Israel will have to pay the price.
In a brief video statement released on Saturday, an IDF spokesperson stated, “I can now confirm that we have concluded the Israeli response to Iran’s attacks against Israel. We conducted targeted and precise strikes on military targets in Iran, thwarting immediate threats to the State of Israel. The IDF has fulfilled its mission.”
Earlier, the Israel Foreign Ministry also released a statement on X, confirming the attacks and wrote, “Our planes have safely returned home. The strike was conducted in response to the attacks by the Iranian regime against the State of Israel and its citizens in recent months. The retaliatory strike has been completed and the mission was fulfilled.”
The targets included missile manufacturing facilities used to produce missiles fired at Israel over the last year, posing a direct and immediate threat to Israeli citizens. Additionally, the IDF struck surface-to-air missile arrays and other Iranian aerial capabilities intended to restrict Israel’s aerial freedom of operation in Iran.
Iranian state media citing Iran’s air defence force, meanwhile said the attacks caused limited damage in some locations and the dimensions of the incident are under investigation. Iran’s air defense force has confirmed Israeli attacks targeting positions in Tehran, Khuzestan and Ilam provinces, saying the aggression was successfully thwarted, Press TV reported.
