Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday announced that Israel’s military offensive in Iran is designed not only to dismantle the Islamic Republic’s nuclear and missile threats, but also to open the door for the Iranian people to claim their freedom from what he called an “evil and oppressive regime.”

Israel’s military campaign against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure has delivered significant setbacks to Tehran’s atomic ambitions, but the most fortified element of Iran’s program–the Fordow facility–remains largely intact, leaving a dangerous path open for Iran’s potential nuclear breakout.

In what Israeli officials are hailing as one of the most complex and coordinated military operations in their history, Israel launched a sweeping preemptive assault deep inside Iranian territory late Thursday night and into early Friday morning. The operation, dubbed Operation Rising Lion, featured a daring covert campaign by Mossad agents who systematically dismantled Iran’s air defense systems ahead of a wave of Israeli airstrikes targeting nuclear sites, ballistic missile facilities, and senior regime figures.

After already hitting Tehran and nuclear and military sites across Iran on Friday in attacks that reportedly killed scores of people, Israeli fighter jets returned to destroy Iran’s airport in Tabriz, video suggested.

In what military analysts are calling the most sophisticated deception campaign in Israel’s modern history, the Jewish state launched a preemptive strike against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and top military leadership — while successfully keeping Tehran and much of the world in the dark.

In a sweeping and unprecedented military operation, Israel launched a decisive preemptive strike deep inside Iran early Friday morning, targeting Tehran’s nuclear program and eliminating the Islamic Republic’s top military brass in a dramatic escalation dubbed “Operation Rising Lion.”

The Israeli navy on Friday said it shot down three Iranian attack drones over the Red Sea on their way toward Israel, after more than 100 drones were launched from the Islamic Republic. The same model, Saar 6, carried out attacks against the Yemeni Houthis earlier this week, Israeli sources said.

In a dramatic escalation overnight, Israel launched a massive aerial assault on Iran early Friday morning, targeting dozens of nuclear and military facilities in a campaign dubbed “Nation of Lions.” Israeli officials say the strike was a direct response to what they called a point of no return in Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
