Air raid sirens were also sounded across Jerusalem and Tel Aviv after Iran’s new wave of attacks. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said Iranian forces targeted Israel’s energy infrastructure and facilities for fighter jet fuel production. The fresh attacks were exchanged after the Israeli military launched Operation “Rising Lion” and struck Iran’s nuclear and military sites early Friday.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the operation was launched to “roll back the Iranian threat to Israel’s very survival”. “This operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat,” he said.
President Donald Trump has urged Tehran to reach a deal with the US on its nuclear program, adding that “Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left.”
