Israel warned that “Tehran is on fire” as it exchanged new rounds of missile attacks with Iran and Benjamin Netanyahu.
Israeli paramedics said three women were killed in a rocket strike near a home in western Galilee late Saturday night.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz would “burn” if Iran continued to attack missiles in urban areas. The targets included the headquarters of the Iranian Ministry of Defense’s oil and fuel depots.
Israel also attacked a processing factory on South Purs gasfield, the world’s largest Iranian shared with neighboring Qatar, a major escalation of the campaign, causing a massive explosion.
The move, which urged Jordan to close airspace for a second day of running, comes after Netanyahu called on the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei regime to “stoop for your freedom” after being overseen by the Iranian people on Friday night.
“The purpose of Israeli operations is to disrupt the nuclear and ballistic missile threats of the Islamic regime to us. As we achieve our objectives, we are clearing up the path for you to achieve your freedom,” he said. “The administration doesn’t know what they’ve attacked or what’s attacking them.”
On Saturday, he threatened that Israel would “hit all sites and “all targets of the regime” of Ayatollahs.”
“Nothing they’ve felt so far compared to what they’ll be handed over in the next few days,” he said.
Over the past year, the Israeli Prime Minister has repeatedly said he is trying to “reshape” the Middle East. Israeli officials believe that military success against Iran’s allies in Lebanon and Syria has created an opportunity to attack Iran, the most vulnerable for many years.
Israel’s goals and hints came as hints for a change of government after a massive assault launched by Israel on Friday struck Iran’s nuclear program and military leaders.
The strikes hit cities primarily in central and western Iran, where the country has most of the country’s military and nuclear facilities. In Tehran, a 10mn city, strikes in the homes of senior government officials have hit residential areas, resulting in serious civilian casualties, including women and children.
Retaliation Iran fired hundreds of ballistic missiles in Israel on Friday. Senior adviser to the commander of the Revolutionary Guard said the Iranian barrage targeted 150 locations.
Most missiles were intercepted by Israeli air defense, but some accomplished it, killing two on strikes in the town of Lishon Legion, which damaged several homes, while the other in an attack on Tel Aviv.
Iranian media said 78 people have been killed and 329 have been injured in Iran since Israel launched its campaign on Friday, citing unofficial estimates.
The Israeli Air Force said Saturday morning it continues to attack surface-to-surface missile launchers in Iran.
Israel launched an attack on Iran early on Friday, suppressing nearly two years of swirling tensions in the Middle East, which has been confused since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th.
Israeli officials said they launched the attack as Iran moved closer to danger to being able to create nuclear weapons.
However, Iranian officials have denied seeking bombs, and the latest threat assessment issued this year by the US Intelligence Agency concluded that Iran did not resume its nuclear weapons programme, which was stopped by international pressure in 2003.
However, Tehran has been enriching uranium, close to weapons grade, for several years, and is believed to have the ability to produce enough fission material needed for nuclear weapons within two weeks.
