Israeli forces, early on Saturday, conducted “precise strikes on military targets in Iran”, in retaliation for a ballistic missile assault by the latter on October 1, officials informed. While there has been no information on damage from the Israeli Republic, the military described the attack as “precise strikes on military targets in Iran,” without immediately elaborating.
“In response to months of continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against the State of Israel—right now the Israel Defense Forces is conducting precise strikes on military targets in Iran,” IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari said in a televised statement.
“In response to months of continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against the State of Israel – right now the Israel Defense Forces is conducting precise strikes on military targets in Iran. The regime in Iran and its proxies in the region have been relentlessly attacking Israel since October 7th – on seven fronts – including direct attacks from Iranian soil”, wrote Danield Hagari on X as he shared a video.
The Israeli offensive comes amid US secretary of state Anthony Blinken’s visit to Israel to mediate between the countries in the Middle East and achieve a ceasefire.
Israel also conducted strikes in Syria on early Saturday, with explosions heard in Damascus. Since late September, Israeli forces have carried out raids in Syria and Lebanon in an alleged attempt to wipe out Hezbollah “terror targets”.
