The Israeli Air Force is continuing to strike Iran, IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin says in a press conference.
“At this hour, the IDF is continuing the attack plan, [to achieve] the goals of the operation, alongside strong defense of Israel,” he says.
Asked how many days of ballistic missile fire from Iran Israel expects, Defrin says “the operation is only beginning,” adding that the military is following Iran’s plans and “is preparing for a response from Iran.”
Meanwhile, satellite imagery apparently shows significant damage at the Natanz nuclear facility.
