#IsraelIranConflict Israel carried out airstrikes against nuclear and military facilities in Iran, targeting its nuclear program and military leadership, including the death of Hossein Salami, head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
In response, Iran launched approximately 100 drones toward Israeli territory, which Israel intercepted, according to military spokesman Effie Defrin. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged Israelis to prepare to stay in shelters for an extended period, warning of a prolonged operation against Iran.
These events mark a significant escalation in the regional conflict, which initially centered on Gaza following the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023, and is now expanding into a direct confrontation with Iran.
