IDF says it has halted strikes in Iran, continues fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon

The Israeli Air Force has not conducted any strikes in Iran since around 3 a.m., when the IDF says it carried out a wave of attacks aimed at reducing Iranian ballistic missile fire on Israel.

Meanwhile, the military says that it “continues fighting against the Hezbollah terror organization in Lebanon.”

During the wave of “extensive” strikes in Iran overnight, IAF fighter jets hit launch sites and ballistic missile launchers, “with the aim of significantly reducing and suppressing the scope of launches,” the military says.

“Israel Air Force fighter jets, directed by the Military Intelligence Directorate, struck dozens of launch sites — thereby disrupting a larger barrage of ballistic missiles that had been aimed at the State of Israel,” the IDF says in a statement.

Iran continued to fire ballistic missiles at Israel until around 3:30 a.m.

The IDF says it also struck “key” weapon production sites in several areas of Iran before the ceasefire.

“In accordance with directives from the political echelon, the IDF has ceased fire in the campaign against Iran and remains on high alert in defense, ready to respond to any violation,” the military says.

However, in Lebanon, the IDF says it “continues fighting and ground operations against the Hezbollah terror organization.”

The Home Front Command is, meanwhile, carrying out an assessment; the IDF says it will update the public if any changes are made to guidelines for civilians.
