At 3:00 AM, the situation across Israel and its surrounding regions remains highly tense and complex, with ongoing military activity on multiple fronts. Reports indicate that Iran has announced its next missile launch will involve approximately 2,000 rockets, a figure at least twenty times larger than previous launches. Iranian military sources have also warned that their missile barrages could be four to five times more intense if not for ongoing Israeli airstrikes targeting military assets inside Iran. These threats come amid a series of intense exchanges of fire.
Overnight, Israel's Air Force conducted numerous strikes across Iran, primarily in the Tehran area, targeting military infrastructure and missile sites. Satellite imagery confirms significant damage to Iranian military facilities, including missile bases and aircraft hangars, with reports of multiple aircraft being destroyed. Israeli defense officials emphasized that these targeted operations aim to weaken Iran’s military capabilities and deter further aggression.
In the northern theater, Israeli aircraft intercepted several unmanned aerial vehicles launched from Lebanese and Syrian territories. In some instances, civilians reported missile and drone interceptions over the Galilee and northern border regions. The Israeli military also reported damage to a missile battery in Syria and the destruction of multiple Iranian military sites in the vicinity of Damascus, including missile storage facilities.
