The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said they are conducting “precise strikes on military targets” and released the following statement on social media:
In response to months of continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against the State of Israel—right now the Israel Defense Forces is conducting precise strikes on military targets in Iran.
The regime in Iran and its proxies in the region have been relentlessly attacking Israel since October 7th—on seven fronts—including direct attacks from Iranian soil.
Like every other sovereign country in the world, the State of Israel has the right and the duty to respond.
Our defensive and offensive capabilities are fully mobilized.
The statement concluded by saying they will “do whatever necessary to defend the State of Israel and the people of Israel.”

A fire was also reported on Friday at an Iranian Defense Ministry location in Tehran.
Hours before the strike, it was reported by Newsweek that Israel would attack Iran’s nuclear operation — though it is not confirmed that is what happened.
Iran fired approximately 200 ballistic missiles at Israel earlier this month. Nobody was hurt or killed in the attack. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that there would be a response.
The strikes are ongoing and The Gateway Pundit will provide updates as the situation unfolds.
