"The IDF completed a series of overnight strikes in the heart of Tehran: Dozens of targets were attacked, including military industrial sites for missile production and the Spand headquarters for research and development of the nuclear weapons project," the IDF wrote on X.
More than 60 Israeli Air Force fighter jets attacked dozens of military targets in Iran with "precise intelligence guidance" from the Intelligence Branch using about 120 munitions, the IDF said. It said several missile manufacturing industrial sites in the Tehran area were attacked.
Military industrial sites for the production of missile components and sites for the production of raw materials used for casting rocket engines were among the locations targeted, the IDF said.
"As part of the attacks and as part of the IDF's activities to damage the Iranian regime's nuclear weapons project, the IDF attacked the Spand headquarters building in Tehran," the IDF wrote.
The Spand headquarters, according to the IDF, is used to research and develop advanced technologies and weapons for Iran's military capabilities.
"In addition, a site for the production of a component that is a necessary basis for the Iranian regime's nuclear weapons program was attacked," the IDF said.
"During the night, the Air Force intercepted four unmanned aerial vehicles launched from Iran," it added.
The Israeli Air Force said it struck three missile launchers ready to be launched toward Israel from Iran as well as a military commander who was working to launch the missiles.
"The Air Force recently attacked three missile launchers ready to be launched from Iran into the territory of the State of Israel and a military commander who was working to launch them," the Air Force wrote on X.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned the Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah against joining in the conflict between Israel and Iran.
"The Hezbollah Secretary-General is not learning a lesson from his predecessors and is threatening to act against Israel in accordance with the Iranian dictator's orders," Katz wrote on X.
"I suggest to the Lebanese proxy to be careful and understand that Israel has lost patience with terrorists who threaten it," he continued.
Katz added: "If there is terrorism, there will be no Hezbollah."
