Iran's Massive Aerial Attack Marks Direct Strike on Israeli Territory
Tensions between Iran and Israel have escalated following a series of airstrikes and retaliation attacks. Western sources indicate that an Israeli airstrike on Friday targeted an Iranian air defense system, while Iran launched its own aerial attack, marking the first direct strike on Israeli territory from Iran.
Israeli Vow of Retaliation
Israel has vowed to respond to the Iranian attack on Saturday and has reportedly carried out a strike on Iran in the hours preceding the Iranian attack. A US official confirmed the Israeli strike to CNN.
Iran's State TV Broadcasts
Iranian state TV has broadcast images of Isfahan, the target of the Israeli strike, which appear to show no visible damage. However, Iran's state TV confirmed on Sunday that the country's Revolutionary Guard had launched a missile attack on Israel.
Minimal Material Damage
Israel and the United States have stated that the Iranian missile attack caused minimal material damage. The attack lasted approximately five hours, according to officials.
Heightened Tensions
The exchange of airstrikes has heightened tensions between the two countries, raising concerns about further escalation. The incident remains a developing situation, and it is unclear what future actions might be taken by either side.
