In retaliation to what it said were months of attacks, Israeli army has carried out strikes on military targets in Iran.
Osun Defender reports that on Oct. 1, Iran launched nearly 200 ballistic missiles at Israel.
After the attack, Israel vowed it would make Iran “pay”.
Also, President Joe Biden said the United States was “fully supportive” of Israel after the missile attack, adding that he would discuss a response with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to sources, Israel strikes appear limited to military sites and not Iranian nuclear facilities or oil fields.
