Israel Defense Force’s Brigadier General Effie Defrin said at a briefing that 100 fighter jets simultaneously struck government targets in the Iranian capital of Tehran on Sunday. He said the targets included buildings belonging to Iran’s air force, its missile command and its internal security force, which violently quashed anti-government protests in January. “Our message to the Iranian regime is clear,” he said, adding, “No one is immune.”
Defrin also said Israel has activated an additional 1,00,000 reservists to fortify Israel’s borders. He said there was a special focus on the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which so far has stayed on the sidelines of the latest war. “We are keeping a close eye on Hezbollah,” he said.
