Israel launched a ferocious attack on Iran in the early hours of Saturday. The Israeli military confirmed the attack and said that Tehran and surrounding cities, including Iran's military bases, have been bombed. According to local Israeli media, the Israeli military used more than 100 fighter jets to attack Iran. This action by Israel is being seen as a response to the attacks carried out by Iran on October 1.
According to the Jerusalem Post, more than 100 Israeli aircraft took part in Saturday's strikes against military targets in Iran. An F-35 fighter jet was used in this attack, carried out from a distance of 2,000 kilometers. A US official told the Reuters news agency that the United States was informed before the attack on military targets in Iran, but was not involved in the operation.
“No to attacks on nuclear facilities or oil fields”
According to the Times of Israel, NBC quoted an unnamed Israeli official as saying that Israel is not attacking Iranian nuclear sites or oil fields. Their attention is focused on military objectives. The Israeli military has also confirmed that it is targeting military targets.
The official was quoted as saying: “We are targeting things that have posed a threat to us in the past or may pose a threat in the future.” While supporting Israel's action against Iran's ballistic missile attacks, the Biden administration has been urging Israel not to strike those targets.
