Israel surprised us all today (Friday)  with hitting Iran's  Headquarters and a barracks of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). They have reportedly been targeted by Israeli strikes on the Iranian capital of Tehran.

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.

Israel’s military described the attack Saturday (in Israel, Friday in USA) as “precise strikes on military targets in Iran,” without immediately elaborating.

“The regime in Iran and its proxies in the region have been relentlessly attacking Israel since Oct. 7 ... including direct attacks from Iranian soil,” an Israeli military statement said. “Like every other sovereign country in the world, the State of Israel has the right and the duty to respond.”

 Iran's military said early Saturday that Israeli strikes on the country targeted military bases in Ilam, Khuzestan and Tehran provinces ...its state news agency said.

Israel targeted some military sites in Syria's central and southern parts with airstrikes early on Saturday, Syrian state news agency SANA reported. Israel has not confirmed striking Syria.

In the time since October 1st's Iran attack,  Israel has launched a devastating ground offensive in the Gaza Strip and an invasion of neighboring Lebanon, targeting militants long-armed and aided by Tehran.  Israel is fighting in 7 major areas at the same time;  Iran is the backer of all battles that take place in Yemen, Judea, Samaria, Gaza, (Syria, Iraq), and Lebanon and now Iran itself!   The Middle East has been on edge awaiting Israel's retaliation for a ballistic-missile barrage carried out by Iran on Oct. 1, in which around 200 missiles were fired at Israel and one person was killed in the West Bank (Judea-Samaria) .
