Speaking to reporters at the scene of a ballistic missile impact in central Israel, Defense Minister Israel Katz says the Israeli Air Force will strike “very significant targets, strategic targets, targets of the regime and infrastructure” in Tehran today.
He says the IDF will issue an evacuation warning to those nearby.
Regarding Iran’s nuclear sites, Katz says that the underground Fordo facility is “an issue that will certainly be addressed.”
He says that in Tehran, “there are more than 10 nuclear targets” that Israel is “on the verge of destroying,” thanks to the Israeli Air Force’s aerial superiority in the area.
