The Israeli military said they concluded the ‘Days of Repentance’ Operation against Iran following launching multiple airstrike in several parts of the country on Saturday. West Asia has been on the boil in anticipation of Israel’s revenge for a ballistic-missile barrage carried out by Iran on October 1.
On Saturday, Iran’s military said that Israeli strikes on the country targeted military bases in Ilam, Khuzestan and Tehran provinces, causing “limited damage.” The statement from Iran’s armed forces was read aloud on state television, which showed no images of the damage described.
Iran’s military claimed its air defences limited the damage done by the strikes, without providing additional evidence. Israel said it launched attacks targeting missile manufacturing plants and other sites in the country. The Israeli military has confirmed that they have concluded the ‘Days of Repentance’ Operation against Iran after launching multiple airstrike in several parts of the country.
“I can now confirm that we have concluded the Israeli response to Iran’s attacks against Israel. We conducted targeted and precise strikes on military targets in Iran thwarting immediate threats to the State of Israel,” the IDF tweeted.
Israel said early Saturday it had completed its strikes targeting Iran. The Israeli military issued a statement saying its planes “have safely returned home.” Its aircraft “struck missile manufacturing facilities used to produce the missiles that Iran fired at the state of Israel over the last year,” the military said.
“These missiles posed a direct and immediate threat to the citizens of the state of Israel.” It added that it also “struck surface-to-air missile arrays and additional Iranian aerial capabilities, that were intended to restrict Israel’s aerial freedom of operation in Iran.” It offered no damage assessment. Iran has not acknowledged any damage to its military facilities.
