Early on Saturday, IDF warplanes targeted several facilities in Iran. Reports from Axios, citing three anonymous sources, indicate that Israel had sent a warning to Iran through various third parties before launching the missile strikes. West Jerusalem specified the types of targets it would attack and cautioned Tehran against retaliatory measures.
Daniel Hagari, spokesperson for the IDF, stated that Israeli forces were engaged in “precise strikes on military targets” in the Islamic Republic. This operation, reportedly codenamed ‘Days of Repentance,’ was initiated as a response to “months of continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against the State of Israel,” he noted.
Axios further explained that “Israelis made it clear to the Iranians in advance what they are going to attack in general and what they are not going to attack.” This was described as an “attempt to limit the ongoing exchange of attacks between Israel and Iran and prevent a wider escalation.”
The report also mentioned that Israel had warned Iran against responding to the initial attack, threatening a more severe strike if Tehran were to retaliate.
Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp was identified by Axios as one of the channels through which Israel communicated its message to Iran. The diplomat confirmed in a post on X that he had discussed “war and the heightened tensions in the region” with the Iranian Foreign Minister and had urged Iran to exercise restraint.
According to an IDF statement, “IAF aircraft struck missile manufacturing facilities used to produce the missiles that Iran fired at the State of Israel over the last year.” Additionally, Israel claims to have targeted the Islamic Republic’s surface-to-air missile capabilities.
Following the strikes, Iran reopened its airspace at 9 AM local time. The National Air Defense Headquarters reported that Israel’s “provocative” attack had led to “limited damage… in certain areas,” with a more comprehensive assessment still ongoing. Officials in Tehran claimed that “the country’s integrated air defense system successfully intercepted and countered this aggressive action.”
Earlier, on October 1, Iran had fired nearly 200 ballistic missiles at Israel in retaliation for the deaths of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders, as well as an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps general.
