The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) stated the strike was part of an ongoing operation targeting Iranian nuclear capabilities and other military infrastructure. This follows a week of widespread Israeli airstrikes on Iranian facilities, prompting retaliatory missile and drone attacks from Iran. The US is considering intervention.
