Israel Defence Forces spokesman Daniel Hagari stated that Israel’s recent strikes on Iran were in direct response to the October 1st attack. Since October 7th, 2023, Iran and its Middle Eastern allies have launched attacks against Israel on seven different fronts. “In this situation, Israel has every right to retaliate,” Hagari said. “We will take whatever actions are necessary to protect Israel and our people.”

Criticized by Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia has condemned Israel’s attack on Iran, labelling it a violation of Iran’s sovereignty. Saudi authorities have called on the international community to take united action to bring an end to the conflict.
US warns Iran against retaliatory attack
The United States has urged an end to direct military exchanges between Israel and Iran following Israel’s recent strikes. The US also issued a warning to Iran against taking retaliatory action. According to a senior U.S. official, Israel had informed the US in advance of its planned attack on Iran.
How did Israel attack ?
Israel launched its attack on Iran using 100 aircraft, including the latest F-35 fighter jets. After traveling approximately 2,000 kilometers, Israeli planes entered Iranian airspace and dropped bombs on targeted sites. The F-35 aircraft can reach speeds of 1,200 to 2,000 kilometers per hour. Given that Israel does not share a border with Iran, Israeli aircraft must transit through the airspace of neighboring countries such as Jordan, Saudi Arabia, or Syria and Iraq to carry out such operations.
