Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir announced a complex operation against Iran, logistically supported by the USA. Israel targeted strategic sites, and Iran retaliated with missiles.

Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, head of the Israeli army's General Staff, stated that the operation against Iran, called "The Lion's Roar", is more complex than previous ones. In a speech addressed to the pilots of the Air Forces, Zamir emphasized that the preparation has been intense and authorized attacks on targets. The operation benefits from logistical support from the United States, which has delivered 6,500 tons of ammunition and military equipment. On Saturday morning, Israel and the USA launched coordinated attacks on Tehran and other Iranian cities, targeting strategic defense systems. Iran retaliated with missiles, targeting Israel and American military bases in the region. Israel reported one minor injury. To strengthen defense, Israel will call up approximately 70,000 reservists, mostly specialists in air defense. Israeli authorities are prepared for various scenarios, and military deployment will continue as long as necessary. This escalation of tensions between Israel and Iran has significant implications for regional security and risks expanding the conflict in the Middle East.
