Tel Aviv: More than 50 Israeli fighter jets attacked nearly 40 targets throughout the Iranian capital, Tehran, over the past 24 hours, the Israeli army stated on Wednesday evening. The military operation marks a significant escalation in the ongoing regional conflict.
According to Anadolu Agency, the Israeli army spokesperson, Efi Defrin, announced that the attacks were carried out in three major waves. The airstrikes are part of a broader military strategy, with Israel claiming to have targeted an anti-tank missile production facility in Iran. The military operations come in response to heightened regional tensions following recent confrontations.
The conflict intensified after Israel launched airstrikes on multiple sites across Iran, including military and nuclear facilities, last Friday. In retaliation, Tehran has conducted missile strikes, further escalating the situation. Israeli authorities report that at least 24 people have been killed and hundreds injured in these Iranian missile attacks.
In Iran, the situation is dire, with reports indicating that 585 people have been killed and more than 1,300 wounded as a result of the Israeli assaults. The ongoing conflict continues to impact both nations significantly, with no immediate signs of de-escalation.
