Jerusalem, Oct 26 (AFP) Oct 26, 2024
The Israeli military said Saturday it had concluded its air attack on Iran, saying it hit the Islamic republic's missile manufacturing facilities, surface-to-air missile arrays and other aerial capabilities in several regions.

"Based on intelligence, IAF (air force) aircraft struck missile manufacturing facilities used to produce the missiles that Iran fired at the State of Israel over the last year," the military said in a statement.

"Simultaneously, the IDF (military) struck surface-to-air missile arrays and additional Iranian aerial capabilities, that were intended to restrict Israel's aerial freedom of operation in Iran," the military added.

It said the strike was conducted in response to recent Iranian attacks against Israel and its citizens.

"Our planes have returned safely ... The retaliatory strike has been completed and the mission was fulfilled," the military added.
