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.”

The IDF says the strikes targeted Iranian military sites, including air defense batteries and missile manufacturing sites — those used in 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 it has a wide bank of targets that can be struck in future operations, if required.

Just like i said earlier, they left Iran wide open & naked to a larger, more vicious attack anytime Israel wants.
In other words, Iran is now essentially defenseless against coordinated large scale air attacks.

The damage caused by the strike 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.

Iran has a choice to make now: strike Israel again & try to save face, & risk provoking another more severe attack from Israel, or lick its wounds & decide to de-escalate & survive.
Some of tonight’s targets were the secret police force the Iranian regime uses to suppress the population of Iran & protect the dictatorship/regime. If Iran attacks Israel again, they risk Israel doing much more damage to the repression agencies & the regime leadership itself.

It will be interesting to see if Israel went after any really senior Iranian leadership. It seems unlikely they did that tonight. They did however leave them defenseless. Khameini is now wide open to ending like Nasrallah did.
We’ll see what happens now.
