The IDF says it has completed its overnight airstrikes against Iranian military sites in response to Iran’s attacks on Israel in recent months, including the 200 ballistic missiles on October 1.

The name of the operation is dubbed by the military “Days of Repentance.”

According to the military, dozens of Israeli Air Force aircraft, including fighter jets, refuelers, and spy planes, participated in the strikes some 1,600 kilometers from Israel.

The aircraft safely returned to Israel following the “complex” operation, it says.

The strikes were carried out in several waves over the course of several hours, in various areas of Iran.

The IDF says the strikes targeted Iranian military sites, including air defense batteries and ballistic missile manufacturing sites — those used in direct Iranian attacks on Israel on October 1 and April 14.

Additionally, the military says the strikes have given the IAF “wider freedom of aerial action in Iran,” and that it has a wide bank of targets that it can hit in future operations if required.

The damage caused by the strikes will be revealed in time, the IDF says, adding that Iran has paid a price for its attacks on Israel.

The IDF is holding an assessment now on a potential Iranian response to the attack, but as of now, there are no changes to guidelines for civilians.
