Israel conducted airstrikes early Saturday targeting military sites in Iran as a response to a ballistic missile attack on October 1.
The Israeli military described these operations as “precise strikes” but did not provide details on any damage caused in Iran. They emphasized that Iran and its proxies have been attacking Israel on multiple fronts, stating that Israel has the right to defend itself against these threats.
In Tehran, explosions were reported, with state media suggesting that some of the sounds were related to air defense systems.
This escalation follows Iran’s recent missile strikes against Israel amid ongoing tensions due to the Israel-Hamas conflict. The strikes coincided with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s return to the U.S. after discussions in the Middle East, where he urged Israel to avoid further escalating the situation.
