One week after the initial attacks on Iranian military capabilities and nuclear program, Israel has once again bombed dozens of targets early this morning in Tehran, including a nuclear research center.
"Dozens of targets were hit, especially military missile production sites and the headquarters of the SPND, the organization responsible for the research and development of the Iranian military nuclear program," specified the Israeli army in a statement.
Additionally, Israeli forces have targeted "missile component production facilities and raw material factories used in the manufacturing of missile engines," the statement notes.
Meanwhile, air raid sirens sounded early Friday in several regions of Israel due to the launch of Iranian missiles. Defense systems had intercepted four drones.
Five people sustained minor injuries from an Iranian missile that hit near two residential buildings in Beer Sheeva, the same location where another projectile hit a hospital on Thursday.
Israel "suggests" to Hezbollah not to enter the war with Iran
Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, warned Hezbollah Secretary-General, Naim Qasem, on Friday against intervening in the war between Israel and Iran after Qasem stated that the Lebanese Shiite group "will act as it deems appropriate against the brutal American-Israeli aggression."
"I suggest to the Lebanese representative to be cautious and understand that Israel has run out of patience with the terrorists threatening it," Katz said in a statement released by the ministry and reported by Efe.
Katz stated that Qasem "is not learning from his predecessors and threatens to act against Israel following instructions from the Iranian dictator."
Israel killed Qasem's predecessor, Hasan Nasrallah, in a bombing on September 27 (the group acknowledged his death a day later). The Israeli military had intensified its bombing campaign on Lebanon, especially on Beirut, just days before.
"If there is terrorism, there will be no Hezbollah," he concluded in the statement.
In a statement, the Shiite group leader, a key ally of Tehran, condemned the Israeli aggression and stated that Iran "represents a leading global reference in supporting the oppressed, backing resistance, and fully supporting the liberation of Palestine and Jerusalem." "The arrogant tyrants, led by the United States, could not tolerate this pioneering humanitarian model for the free peoples of the world, nor the firmness of Iran under (Supreme Leader Ali) Khamenei," Qasem affirmed.
