Israel Conducts Air Strikes on Iran Amid Ongoing Military Escalation and Tensions

Israel Launches Air Strikes Against Iran Amid Ongoing Tensions

In the early hours of Saturday, Israel conducted a series of air strikes on Iran, responding to what the Israeli military characterized as “months of continuous attacks” from Tehran and its allied groups.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that it is executing “precise strikes on military targets” within Iran, accusing the nation of “relentlessly attacking Israel” since October 7, 2023.

The IDF’s confirmation of strikes came after Iranian state media reported multiple explosions in and around Tehran. This escalation follows Tehran’s launch of nearly 200 ballistic missiles toward Israel on October 1, which Iran claimed was retaliation for the assassination of Hamas’s political leader on its soil in July.

Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari declared that Israel has the “right and duty” to respond, asserting that its “defensive and offensive capabilities” are “fully mobilized.”

The United States, a key ally of Israel, described Saturday’s strike as an “exercise of self-defense.” A National Security Council spokesperson informed CBS that the strikes were targeted at military sites in Iran in response to Iran’s ballistic missile attack against Israel on October 1.

While the IDF largely thwarted the October 1 attacks, a few missiles managed to hit central and southern Israel. Iran justified its assault on Israel by claiming it was a response to the “violation of Iran’s sovereignty” and the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who died in an explosion in Tehran in July, which Iranian officials attributed to Israel—though Israeli officials denied responsibility.

Iran also indicated that its missile strike was a reaction to an Israeli airstrike in Beirut that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan, the commander of the Quds Force.

This escalation occurred shortly after Israeli forces began an incursion into southern Lebanon to target what they described as “Hezbollah terror targets” in border villages that posed a threat to northern Israel.

Following the Israeli strikes on Saturday, a White House official reported that President Joe Biden “has been briefed and is closely following the developments.” However, a U.S. defense official clarified that there was no American involvement in the Israeli strikes.

Iranian state media confirmed that explosions were reported in western Tehran, with a news agency linked to the Revolutionary Guards stating that several military bases in the western and southwestern parts of the capital had been targeted. The full extent of the attacks and their specific targets remain unclear.

Despite Iranian media claims denying significant damage, the country’s aviation authority announced the cancellation of flights on all routes until further notice. Additionally, the Syrian state news agency reported that Israeli airstrikes had targeted military sites in central and southern Syria.
