Iranian state media, citing military sources, confirmed that the operation was “in response to recent attacks,”
noting that the targets included military and strategic sites inside Israel.
For its part, Israeli authorities announced the activation of air defense systems to intercept incoming missiles,
while sirens sounded in several areas, according to Hebrew media reports.
Unprecedented tension
This development comes amid unprecedented tensions between Tehran and Tel Aviv, following a series of tit-for-tat strikes in recent days.
This has prompted several regional and international capitals to call for de-escalation and to avoid a wider confrontation that could threaten the stability of the entire Middle East.
Observers believe that the continued exchange of strikes opens the door to more complex scenarios, especially with the involvement of regional
and international actors in the crisis, amidst intensive diplomatic efforts to contain the situation before it spirals out of control.
