Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, stated that the attack on Iran had hit all of its targets. "Accurate and powerful" is how he described the Israeli attacks.
"We promised to respond to Iran's attack and on Saturday we carried out the attack...the attack was perfect and powerful," Netanyahu stated. All of the objectives have been met as a result.
During his speech on Sunday, Netanyahu made these claims. Last October 7, Hamas launched an attack on Israel. The anniversary of that attack falls on Sunday in the Hebrew calendar. It was at that time that he delivered this speech.
Iran launched over 200 missiles against Israel earlier on October 1. The majority of these missiles were reportedly shot down by Israel before they reached their targets.
Netanyahu said that Iran used hundreds of ballistic missiles to target Israel in those attacks. However, they were unsuccessful. "We have kept our promise," he added.Our air force launched an attack on Iran, targeting its missile manufacturing centers and defense capabilities.
Tehran said the attack on Israel on October 1 was in retaliation for the killings of Iran-backed Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and a commander of its own Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
On the other hand, since the start of the Gaza war, Israel has said that it attacked Iran last Saturday in response to attacks by Iran and armed groups supported by the country. However, Israel did not admit any attack on Iran before this attack.
Meanwhile, Iran has acknowledged Israel's attack on military installations in the capital Tehran and two other provinces yesterday. Four soldiers were killed and "limited damage" was reported by Tehran in these attacks.
