Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel is winning the war and that Iran is collapsing. He asserted that Iran will no longer be able to enrich uranium or produce ballistic missiles. His statement came as Iran launched a series of missile attacks targeting Israel, with explosions reported in Jerusalem and air raid sirens sounding across the city.
According to the Israeli military, three rounds of missile strikes were detected within an hour and a half before midnight local time. No immediate reports of casualties or damage were available. Israeli broadcaster Channel 12 reported that air raid sirens also went off in northern Israel following the Iranian missile attacks.
The escalation marks a significant intensification of hostilities between Israel and Iran, with both sides exchanging military actions amid heightened regional tensions.
