On the morning of October 26, international media reported that Israel’s retaliatory actions against Iran have concluded. According to a photo from Xinhua News Agency, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attended a meeting at the Defense Ministry’s command center.
The operations began at 2:30 AM local time, with CNN citing two sources who stated that Israel launched three waves of strikes that lasted several hours. The New York Times, referencing two Israeli officials, noted that the attacks targeted approximately 20 locations in Iran and were wrapped up earlier that morning.
As of 6:30 AM local time in Iran, sources indicated that the exact objectives and extent of the damage caused by Israel remain unclear. While Iranian officials have not commented on the situation, local media appear to downplay the impact of the airstrikes, reporting that Tehran’s airport is operating normally and there are no casualties.
