At least three members of the Iranian army were killed.

In retaliation to Iran’s launch of more than 180 missiles at Israel earlier in the month, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), early Saturday morning, struck military targets across Iran.

In a press release, the IDF stated that all strikes had ended and its goals were met. Israel did not strike Iranian oil or nucleonic facilities.

The New York Times reports that more than 100 combat aircraft launched from Israel were used in the attacks.

The Iranian media reported that several military members were killed in the 20 strikes at different locations. They concluded at around 6 am.

The IDF stated that the fighter jets had “struck the missile manufacturing facilities that were used to produce missiles that Iran has fired against the State of Israel in the past year.”

The statement went on to say that “simultaneously the IDF attacked surface-to air missile arrays as well as additional Iranian aerial capability, which were intended restrict Israel’s freedom of aerial operation in Iran.”

The IDF claimed that only “some” its offensive operational capabilities were used during the attacks “on strategic assets deep inside Iranian territory”.

The statement said it was prepared to take further offensive or defensive actions if necessary.

The message was clear. Israel has an advantage in terms of military and technological capabilities over Iran, and can operate freely within Iranian airspace.

The Times reported that during the first wave, Israel targeted the “air defense batteries” and radars of Iran’s allies in Iraq and Syria to avoid any disruptions. Israeli jets hit the air defenses in Iran.

Israel targeted manufacturing facilities that were responsible for the production of Iran’s missiles with a long range in the second wave. The report stated that the strikes were aimed at “destroying a crucial component in the production processes”.

This is the biggest attack on Iran since 1980s Iran-Iraq War.

Iran has largely downplayed its strike, claiming that the damage was minimal.

Experts said the Iranian regime’s decision to downplay the strikes was a good sign, as it showed that they were not interested in escalating the war against a superior adversary.

It was still unclear how much damage had been done, but the precision of the attack appeared to have met the desired goal of deterrence.

Joe Truzman is a senior research analyst with the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. He posted satellite images showing the impact of the strike on one particular location.

He wrote: “Satellite photos provided by a reliable source show that the IAF targeted the Parchin Military Base, east of Tehran overnight.”

He added: “The left image depicts the scene before the strike while the right image shows two areas that were affected by the attack.”
