Israel intensified its military actions on Iran this Friday, focusing on systems and ground-to-ground missile depots. Israeli air forces, guided by precise intelligence, carried out a series of incursions that targeted Iranian missile infrastructure, military authorities confirmed.
Hours later, around nine o'clock local time, Iran launched dozens of ballistic missiles against Israeli territory.
"The attack continues. Dozens of additional missiles were launched towards the State of Israel," the Israeli army said in a statement, informing the public that "the explosions you are hearing are from interceptions or fallen projectiles."
All of Israeli territory is under alert.
The Israeli army has made it clear that it is preparing for what could be a "prolonged operation" on Iranian soil. Meanwhile, reacting to the attack, Iranian authorities categorized Israel's actions as "a declaration of war", suggesting that tensions in the region could increase dramatically in the coming days.
