According to Hagari, Israel now has broader aerial freedom of action, including within Iranian airspace. The spokesperson emphasized that Iran had attacked Israel twice, endangering civilians in the process, and had now faced consequences for its actions.

The targets of the attack were carefully selected from a wide range of options, with Hagari stating that additional targets could be chosen and struck as necessary from this selection. The Israeli military remains prepared to respond to any further threats from Iran.

The retaliatory attack underscores the ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran, with both countries engaging in military actions and counteractions in the region. The situation remains fluid, and further developments are expected as the conflict between the two nations continues.
