Hey amigos, things are heating up in the Middle East 🌍. On Saturday, Israel launched what they called \"precise strikes\" on military targets in Iran. They say it's in retaliation for Iran's attacks on Israel earlier this month. This is the latest move in a conflict that's seriously escalating between these two heavily armed rivals.
The operation went on for hours and involved three waves of strikes, according to Israeli media reports cited by Xinhua.
Iran's air defense forces confirmed that several of their military bases in Tehran and other cities were hit. They stated that the Israeli attack \"caused limited damage\" while they were intercepting the strikes.
\"This fake regime (Israel) attacked parts of military centers in Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam provinces,\" Iran's air defense forces said in a statement.
The Middle East has been on edge 😬, bracing for Israeli retaliation after Iran launched around 200 ballistic missiles at Israel on October 1. This was Iran's second direct attack on Israel in just six months! 🚀
Stay tuned for more updates as tensions continue to rise in this highly volatile region.
