#IsraelIranConflict *Israel Attacks Iran Amid Nuclear Tensions*

Israel conducted a series of airstrikes on Iran, hitting more than 100 targets, including military and nuclear centers. The airstrikes, code-named "Operation Rising Lion," were intended to disable the nuclear and missile capabilities of Iran. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the strikes would continue until the menace is eliminated. The attack used 200 fighter planes and caused massive damage to Iran's air defense systems and killing of senior military commanders, including Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who led the Revolutionary Guard's missile program.
