Main points for October 26th

  • The Israeli military has carried out strikes on Iran, hitting about 20 sites over several hours in a response to Tehran’s October 1 missile attack on Israel.
  • An Israeli army spokesperson said the now-completed assault, which he named operation “Days of Reckoning”, attacked Iran’s “means of producing missiles”, as well as surface-to-air missile systems and other air defence capabilities.
  • Iran’s military has confirmed the Israeli strikes targeted military bases in Ilam, Khuzestan and Tehran provinces, saying they caused only “limited damage”.
  • Israel has warned Iran against retaliating, saying it will be “obligated to respond” again, adding it has “additional targets” it could strike should that happen.
  • A US National Security Council spokesman said Washington was aware of strikes by its ally, but did not participate, describing the Israeli operation as an “exercise in self-defence”.
  • Israeli authorities have closed the country’s airspace until 8:30am local time (05:30 GMT), but are yet to issue a state of alert to citizens.
