Israel says it hit military targets in Iran
The military has resumed its strikes on Iranian military targets.
“Approximately 20 fighter jets conducted intelligence-based strikes using over 30 munitions on military targets in Iran,” the Israeli military posted on Telegram.
The attacks were carried out on “storage and missile launching infrastructure sites,” as well as “military satellites and radar sites,” it added.
The Israeli military had struck storage facilities in central Iran on Sunday.
Iran fired a barrage of ballistic missiles at targets across Israel on Sunday morning, hours after Trump announced that the US military had struck three Iranian nuclear sites.
