The Israeli military, the IDF, has dubbed the attack on Iran in the early hours of Saturday “Operation Days of Regret.” Israel has fired rockets at many cities in Iran. However, Israel said it had attacked only military targets without causing any harm to the general public in Iran. However, Iran has admitted that two of its soldiers were killed in the Israeli attack.
What does 'Days of Repentance' mean?
In Judaism, the term “Days of Repentance” refers to the 10 days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, known as the Ten Days of Repentance. During this period, people are asked to reflect on their actions, correct them, and return to the path of truth, which leads to Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
In Jewish tradition, these days are considered an occasion when the “gates of heaven” are open and people have the opportunity to apologize for their mistakes and set themselves on the right path. By naming this operation after these 10 days, Israel is showing the importance of commitment and accountability towards national security.
