Israel launched a series of retaliatory strikes against military targets in Iran, according to a spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces, which was announced amid reports of explosions heard near the Iranian capital, Tehran.
Israel says that air strikes on military targets in Iran on Saturday morning have concluded its retaliation for Iran’s ballistic missile attacks on April 14 and Oct. 1.
Iran’s military said early Saturday that Israeli strikes on the country targeted military bases in Ilam, Khuzestan, and Tehran provinces, causing “limited damage,” and that two soldiers were killed.
After announcing the strikes were underway, the Israel Defense Forces later released a statement saying they had concluded their mission and warned Iran not to escalate.
