Israeli Air Force Strikes in Iran: A Prelude to Operation 'Rising Lion'
The October 2024 operation targeted Iranian ballistic missile production sites, weakening Tehran's capabilities and paving the way for Israel's subsequent Operation 'Rising Lion.'
One year ago, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) completed a series of precise, intelligence-guided strikes on military targets across Iran, marking a pivotal moment in Israel's campaign to counter Tehran's regional aggression.
The operation was carried out in response to attacks by the Iranian regime against Israel in the months leading up to the strikes.
- The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) targeted production facilities for ballistic missiles intended to strike Israel.
- Advanced surface-to-air missile arrays were also targeted, positioned in several locations across Iran.
