The rain of fire that hit northern Israel for hours between Wednesday and Thursday provoked a harsh reaction from Defense Minister Israel Katz, who threatened a new military campaign in Lebanon. However, the government has not yet made a decision, in the evening the issue landed on the table of the political-security cabinet, but Iran remains at the top of the list of priorities for the Israeli executive.
With Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not hesitating to define the new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei as “a puppet of the Pasdaran”, forced “not to show his face”.
Raids on sites nuclear Iranians
The IDF said it had struck the Taleghan site used by the Tehran regime for the development of nuclear weapons. The first open source satellite images show three large holes in the concrete structure with which the plant was covered after the 12-day war in June.
“The holes are reminiscent of those documented at the Fordow site after another attack, and may indicate the use of bunker-busting penetrator bombs,” commented Yedioth Ahronot. According to a Saudi report reported by Israeli news channels, a new heavy raid was launched on Fordow.
However, it is not clear whether only Israeli fighters or also US fighters are operating against Tehran’s nuclear sites. The Taleghan site is located in the Parchin military complex 30 kilometers from the Iranian capital, which is considered one of the largest centers of Iran’s military industry.
Threats Of escalation in Lebanon
In the morning during a briefing with military leaders, Defense Minister Israel Katz clarified that he had warned President Joseph Aoun: “If the Lebanese government is unable to control the territory and prevent Hezbollah from firing at Israel, we will take the territory and do it ourselves,” he said. Adding that, together with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he “ordered the IDF to prepare for an expansion of military activities in Lebanon”.
On Wednesday, Hezbollah launched 200 rockets and around twenty drones against the Jewish state, in the most difficult day for northern Israeli communities since the Shiite group struck again “to avenge the killing of supreme leader Ali Khamenei”. Meanwhile, the IDF launched a massive wave of attacks against Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon and central Beirut.
Missiles on Jerusalem And damage at the City Old
The launch of missiles from Iran on Israel, however, has slowed down, with fewer alarms than in previous days. «The Old City of Jerusalem has also been wounded by the violence that is gripping the entire Middle East.
Fragments of a missile hit our elementary school of the Custody of the Holy Land at the gate of Jaffa. There has been no school since February 28th and therefore there were no children or teachers. It would have been a tragedy,” said director Ibrahim Faltas. Adding that the Beit Sahour Shepherds’ Camp was also hit by a fallen missile wreckage.
Precisely on the damage in the Holy City, the Israeli Foreign Ministry posted the video of an impact a few hundred meters from the Holy Sepulcher and other sacred places in Jerusalem. The images date back to an Iranian attack on the first day of the war, February 28.
Tensions Also in Iraq: stop the ports oil
Iraqi oil ports have completely halted operations following Iranian attacks on two oil tankers in its waters.
And again in Iraq, although there are no official statements explaining who is attacking, the pro-Iran militias – held responsible for hundreds of raids on behalf of Tehran – have suffered serious losses, with at least twenty of their fighters killed.
