The attack, named “Operation Rising Lion,” was a response to what Israel called “the Iranian regime’s ongoing aggression against the Jewish state.”
Netanyahu stated the military campaign would “continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat.”
He explained, “We struck at the heart of Iran’s nuclear enrichment program. We struck at the heart of Iran’s weaponization program. We targeted Iran’s main nuclear facility in Natanz.”
Emergency sirens blared in Israel just before 3:00 a.m. local time, warning citizens to prepare for possible retaliation. Ben Gurion Airport was closed, and the school day was canceled.
