More than 50 Israeli Air Force jets carried out a series of overnight airstrikes targeting key military and nuclear-linked sites across Iran, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Wednesday.
Among the targets was a centrifuge production facility in Tehran, which the IDF claims Iran was using to accelerate uranium enrichment as part of its nuclear weapons development program.
The strikes also hit multiple weapons manufacturing sites. These included factories involved in producing raw materials and components for surface-to-surface missiles used by Iran in recent attacks on Israel, as well as facilities manufacturing systems and parts for surface-to-air missiles aimed at targeting aircraft.
The IDF also released footage showing fighter jets taking off as part of the large-scale operation.
