Israel made the decision to strike what it identified as Iranian military targets early Saturday morning following extensive discussions within its security cabinet regarding the specifics of the attack, according to Israeli officials.
The strike was focused solely on military targets, with one official stating that they targeted sites 'that posed a threat or could pose a threat.' Another official characterized the decision as the outcome of a 'very diligent decision-making process.'
This decision-making process involved numerous consultations with US officials, including a phone call between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Joe Biden.
While Israeli officials have not disclosed further information about the specific military targets, it is anticipated that the Israeli military will provide additional details once the operation is completed.
As of now, Iran has not issued any statements regarding the attack.
