Israel Defence Forces (IDF) on Monday said that Iran had launched over 100 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) towards Israel, all of which were intercepted.

Iranian security forces claimed to have found a secret Israeli drone factory operating inside Iran. The report, carried by semi-official IRGC-linked Tasnim news agency and quoted by The Times of Israel, suggested that Tehran suspects more such facilities are present within its borders and has launched searches for them.
Israel's initial strikes last Friday targeted various sites inside Iran.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Israel used explosive-carrying quadcopter drones, rockets, and other advanced equipment to hit Iranian nuclear scientists, military officials, anti-aircraft systems, and missile sites. These weapons were reportedly smuggled into Iran rather than being built locally.
The IDF also said that Iran continues to target Israeli civilians indiscriminately. "All Israelis are targets for the Iranian regime.

All Israelis are heroes to us," said the IDF in a separate post.
The conflict remains multi-fronted. The IDF reported that Hamas had fired a projectile from southern Gaza, triggering sirens in southern Israel.
In a significant long-range operation, Israeli Air Forces struck an Iranian refuelling aircraft at Mashhad Airport, about 2,300 kilometres from Israel. This is the longest-range strike since the beginning of what Israel calls 'Operation Rising Lion'.
The IDF said that it is working to establish air superiority over Iranian airspace.
Iran and Israel launch more missiles
Israeli TV reports suggest that the military is trying to disrupt a possible Iranian missile attack by targeting launch sites. Iranian media outlets, including Mehr News Agency, showed footage of air defence systems active near Parchin, where further Israeli strikes are believed to have occurred.
The IDF confirmed it had hit multiple weapon production sites in Tehran belonging to the Quds Force, the IRGC, and the Iranian military. Israeli citizens have been advised to stay near shelters as the military braces for possible missile attacks from Iran.

Will Pakistan nuke Israel? Islamabad denies Iranian commander's claim
A senior Iranian official has stirred global alarm over the weekend by claiming that Pakistan would retaliate with a nuclear strike on Israel if Iran is targeted with atomic weapons. The statement, which appeared to draw Pakistan into a hypothetical nuclear escalation, was quickly rejected by Islamabad. Pakistan emphasised that no such assurance had been given and reaffirmed the country's longstanding policy of strategic restraint. General Mohsen Rezaei, a senior commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and a member of Iran's National Security Council, made the claim during a broadcast on Iranian state television. 'Pakistan has told us that if Israel uses a nuclear bomb on Iran, then Pakistan will also attack Israel with a nuclear bomb,' said Rezaei. On June 14, addressing Pakistan's National Assembly, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said, 'Israel has targeted Iran, Yemen, and Palestine. If Muslim nations don't unite now, each will face the same fate,' he said, as quoted by Turkiye Today. He further urged Muslim-majority countries with diplomatic relations with Israel to reconsider their ties and pushed for an emergency meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to develop a unified strategy. Nuclear policies under scrutiny The latest tensions have brought renewed focus to the nuclear stances of Israel and Iran. Israel follows a policy of nuclear ambiguity — neither confirming nor denying it has nuclear weapons. Still, it is widely believed to have a strong arsenal aimed at deterring regional threats. Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes like energy and medicine. As a Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) signatory, it denies pursuing nuclear weapons.
