The Israeli army launched attacks on “military targets” in Iran last night. As they stated, “these are precise attacks on military targets”, according to the AA.
The Israeli military said in a statement that the attacks were “a response to strikes against Israel in recent months.”
Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency reported that Israel attacked military bases west and southwest of Tehran.
The same source stated that some of the explosions were caused by the anti-aircraft defense system, and that most of the videos on social networks are of an older date without any connection with tonight’s events.
At the same time, explosions resounded in Syria, in Homs and around Damascus.
