Brigadier General Effie Defrin says Tehran launched the attacks following Israel’s massive early morning attack on Iran with about 200 planes.
The interception efforts against the Iranian strikes are ongoing, the spokesman added.
As we reported before, the army confirmed the assassination of several senior Iranian officials in the strikes, including Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri, Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps chief Hossein Salami, and Gholam Ali Rashid, a senior commander.
