Israel’s campaign against Iran concluded after three airstrikes, with Iranian air defenses unable to intercept the Israeli missiles.
Israel’s campaign against Iran ended after three airstrikes, the Israel Public Broadcasting Corporation reported on October 26. According to a post on X by an Axios reporter, the second and third airstrikes specifically targeted missile and drone bases, as well as associated production facilities.
On the same day, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office announced that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, along with senior officials, was evaluating the security situation following the airstrikes on Iran.The statement detailed that Netanyahu was conducting a security review at Kirya Air Base, alongside the defense minister, army chief, Mossad chief, and Shin Bet chief.
Israel’s extensive assault on Iran on October 26 involved over 100 aircraft, including F-35 “Adir” stealth fighters, executing airstrikes on targets approximately 2,000 km from the Israeli border. According to the Jerusalem Post, the strikes primarily targeted locations in Tehran and Karaj, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) asserting that each wave was aimed solely at military sites to minimize the risk of escalation.
Israeli officials have dismissed reports claiming that Iranian air defenses intercepted the majority of Israeli missiles.According to Axios, U.S. and Israeli officials confirmed that there have been three waves of attacks on Iran.
The first wave reportedly targeted air defense systems, while the following attacks concentrated on bases, as well as missile and drone production facilities.The Tasnim news agency quoted an Iranian source stating that Tehran has the right to respond to Israel’s assault and will undoubtedly retaliate “appropriately.”
