The Israeli army on Saturday released footage allegedly showing the departure of fighter jets to strike 'military targets' in Iran overnight.
The video shows pilots boarding their respective F15 and F16 jets, getting ready and taxiing along a runway of an Israeli airbase. The date and location of the footage cannot be independently verified.
Israel reported attacks on Iranian 'military targets' in the early hours of Saturday morning local time. A number of explosions were reported in Tehran by local media.
IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari said it was "in response to months of continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against the state of Israel."
In turn, Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the strikes, calling it a violation of international law and the country's sovereignty.
"We have the right to self-defence against any foreign aggression, as stipulated by the UN Charter," the statement further read.
Four soldiers were killed in the Israeli attack according to media reports. Several countries in the Middle East and around the world condemned the Israeli attack on Iran, including the UAE, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Turkey, Indonesia, among others. The US and the UK urged Iran to exercise restraint and underscored Israel's right to self-defence, while European countries such as Germany and France called for de-escalation.
Iran launched a wave of missile strikes on Israel on October 1, which it said was in response to Israel's killing of Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah and others. PM Benjamin Netanyahu said that Tehran had made a 'big mistake' and warned of 'consequences'.
Israel is currently fighting Hezbollah with airstrikes and ground troops in southern Lebanon and conducting an ongoing offensive against Hamas in Gaza. The Gaza conflict followed the October 7, 2023 attacks which killed 1,139 people according to the Israeli side. Over 2,500 have been reported killed in Lebanon and over 42,000 in Gaza at time of publication, according to figures released by the Lebanese and Palestinian sides.
