IDF strikes missiles sites, reportedly attacks targets in Natanz, Parchin

Surface-to-surface missile sites in central Iran have been struck by the IDF overnight between Sunday and Monday, the military said. Saudi state-owned news source Al-Arabiya reported that Israeli forces had struck targets in the area of the city of Natanz in central Iran. Other initial reports stated Israeli forces were simultaneously carrying out large-scale attacks on other nuclear sites across Iran.

The IDF is reportedly trying to thwart a launch by Iran by striking their soil, after they detected that Iran was attempting to send missiles towards Israeli territory. Alert was given to civilians to stay near protected spaces regardless The DF's Home Front Command, as a result, issued an alert to civilians in Israel to stay near protected spaces, as they were striking the launchers. A few hours earlier, the IDF put out a statement saying it weakened the Islamic Republic of Iran's weapons production capabilities after completing a wave of strikes on infrastructure belonging to the IRGC's Quds Force in Tehran. 

The military also said that the Israel Air Force and Israel Navy had intercepted over 100 drones fired by Iran since the beginning of Operation Rising Lion. Hours before the Israeli strikes, a 2.5 magnitude earthquake was reported in the Qom Province near the Fordow nuclear facility, according to the Iranian Seismological Center. (Source)
