Israel Completes Retaliatory Attack on Iranian Military Targets
Israel announced the completion of its retaliatory attack on Iranian military targets, warning of further response to any new escalatory actions by Tehran.
According to two sources, Israel’s retaliation against Iran ended after three attacks on the morning of October 26. The exact targets and extent of damage caused by Israel have yet to be determined.
Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), confirmed that the Israeli army completed “precise and targeted” airstrikes on military targets in Iran.
“The retaliatory attack is over and the mission is completed. Our plane returned home safely,” Mr. Hagari said.
Mr. Hagari stated that the Israeli air force targeted “missile production facilities used by Iran to fire at Israel over the past year”. Additionally, the Israeli military hit Iran’s surface-to-air missile systems and additional air capabilities.
In a statement in English, the IDF spokesman warned that if Iran “made the mistake” of further escalation, Israel would respond.
“If Iran makes a mistake that sparks a new round of escalation, we have an obligation to respond,” Mr. Hagari emphasized.
The IDF spokesman continued: “Our message is clear: All who threaten Israel and seek to drag the region into a broader escalation must pay a heavy price. Today, we demonstrate our ability, determination, and our determination. We have prepared both offensive and defensive capabilities to protect the country and the people of Israel.”
Loud explosions were heard in Iran’s capital Tehran early on the morning of October 26, when Israel announced its response to Iran’s ballistic missile attack on the country on October 1.
Israel affirmed that it did not attack Tehran’s nuclear or oil facilities. “We only target military targets that have threatened Israel in the past or could threaten the country in the future.”
There are currently no reports of damage at Iranian military bases.
