On October 26, 2024, Israel launched airstrikes targeting military installations in Iran. This action was a direct retaliation for an earlier missile barrage from Iran on October 1, 2024, when around 200 ballistic missiles were fired at Israeli targets. Israeli forces aimed to hit key military sites within Iran, escalating an already tense situation in the Middle East.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reported that their strikes were precise and focused on military targets. The attacks reportedly caused significant explosions in Tehran, which Iranian media initially attributed to air defense systems. The region remains on edge, with analysts warning that the conflict between Israel and Iran could further destabilize the region.
