IDF Spox. Brig.-Gen. Effie Defrin warned that despite the success of the operation in preventing Iran's existential threat to Israel, the regime would still attempt to destroy Israel.

"We destroyed Iran's missile manufacturing industry—just minutes before the deadly missiles were set to be launched at Israel. Iran's malicious intent to threaten Israel has been eradicated."

“It was a tough conversation between Netanyahu and President Trump. Trump viewed this as a personal achievement and made it clear that no one—absolutely no one—would undermine it.”

Twenty eight people were killed in the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, while the IDF estimated that it could have been hundreds.

Before the IDF's announcement, the Home Front Command warned that sirens could activate due to detected missile launches.

The IDF targeted the headquarters of the Basij paramilitary forces, as well as internal security forces Alborz, in a wave of strikes across Iran's capital.

The IDF said the launchers were expected to be used in the multiple missile barrages fired at Israel throughout Friday.

Approximately 25 fighter jets struck over 40 missile infrastructure components, including missile storage sites and military operatives of the Iranian regime.
