IDF confirms strikes on Iran

Israel has “fully mobilised” its offensive and defensive capabilities.

The Israel Defense Forces is conducting “precise strikes on military targets” in Iran, IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari confirmed in a statement early Saturday.

“In response to months of continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against the State of Israel – right now the Israel Defense Forces is conducting precise strikes on military targets in Iran,” the spokesman said in a brief video statement.

“We will do whatever necessary to defend the State of Israel and the people of Israel,” he said, adding that the Jewish state’s “defensive and offensive capabilities are fully mobilised.”


The scale of the attack was not immediately clear, and there was no information on damage in the Islamic Republic. A Tehran resident told AP that at least seven explosions could be heard in the capital.

On October 1, Iran fired nearly 200 ballistic missiles at Israel in response to the killings of the Hamas and Hezbollah leaders and an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) general.

Israel has since threatened to deliver a “deadly, pinpoint accurate, and surprising” retaliation, without specifying any time frame.

Tehran has warned Israel against conducting any strikes, vowing a “decisive and regretful” response, should it do so.
