Israel strikes Iran in response to drone attack
Tel Aviv hits military production sites to deter further strikes
Jerusalem says strikes were carried out on Sunday evening, causing widespread damage
Israel has launched airstrikes on Iranian military production sites in response to a drone attack on an Israeli-owned tanker in the Gulf of Oman.
The strikes, which were carried out on Sunday evening, caused widespread damage to the Iranian facilities. Reports have indicated that the attacks were carried out with cruise missiles.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the strikes were a "clear message" to Iran that Israel will not tolerate attacks on its interests.
The Iranian government has condemned the attacks and vowed to retaliate. The country's Foreign Ministry said that the strikes were a "clear violation of international law."
The Israeli government has released a statement claiming that the strikes were necessary to deter further Iranian attacks. The statement said that the attacks were carried out with precision and that they were designed to avoid civilian casualties.
The Iranian government has denied that it was involved in the drone attack on the Israeli-owned tanker. However, US officials have said that there is "clear evidence" that Iran was behind the attack.
The Israeli strikes on Iran are a significant escalation in tensions between the two countries. It is unclear how Iran will respond to the attacks, but it is likely that the country will seek to retaliate in some way.
