Secretive Iranian military bases were targeted in Israel's inaugural 'public' assault. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei characterized Israel's strike as not to be sensationalized or trivialized. He refrained from advocating for an immediate retaliatory strike.

An Israeli assault on Iran caused damage to facilities at a covert military base located southeast of the Iranian capital, which experts have previously associated with Tehran's former nuclear weapons program. Satellite images examined on Sunday by The Associated Press revealed the destruction at this base as well as another facility connected to Iran's ballistic missile program.

The affected structures were situated within Iran's Parchin military base, where the International Atomic Energy Agency has raised concerns about possible tests involving high explosives for triggering a nuclear weapon in the past. Iran has consistently maintained that its nuclear program is peaceful, despite assertions from the IAEA, Western intelligence agencies, and others that Tehran had an active weapons program until 2003.

Damage from the recent attack can also be observed at the nearby Khojir military base, suspected to house an underground tunnel system and missile production facilities. The Iranian military has not officially acknowledged the damage inflicted by Israel's attack on Saturday, which reportedly resulted in the deaths of four Iranian soldiers involved in the country's air defense systems at Khojir or Parchin military bases.

Iran reported on Sunday that a civilian had also been killed, however, no further information was given. Iran's representatives at the United Nations did not respond to a comment request. The Israeli military abstained from providing a comment. The Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei advised on Sunday that the Israeli attack should be neither exaggerated nor downplayed, without specifically advocating for an immediate retaliatory response.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Sunday that the strikes against Iran had a significant impact and successfully accomplished all objectives. The damage from the strikes was reported in three Iranian provinces. The total number of sites targeted in the Israeli attack has not been fully disclosed. Iran's military has not released any images of the damage thus far. Iranian officials have pinpointed the affected areas as Ilam, Khuzestan, and Tehran provinces. Satellite images from Planet Labs PBC showed burned fields near Iran's Tange Bijar natural gas production site in Ilam province on Saturday. 

It remains uncertain whether the damage is linked to the attack. The Ilam province is located along the Iran-Iraq border in the western region of Iran. The significant destruction is evident in Planet Labs photographs of Parchin, situated approximately 40 kilometers (25 miles) southeast of downtown Tehran, close to the Mamalu Dam. In one location, a single structure appeared to have been completely destroyed, with other structures showing signs of damage from the attack. Approximately 20 kilometers (12 miles) outside of downtown Tehran, in Khojir, satellite images revealed damage to at least two structures.

 Analysts at organizations such as CNA in Virginia, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies in Washington, and former United Nations weapon inspector David Albright, along with other open-source experts, were the first to identify the damage to the bases. The locations of the two bases align with videos captured by the AP depicting Iranian air defense systems firing in the nearby area on early Saturday.

What is the Gaza Strip? What you want to be aware of the domain at the core of the Israel-Hamas war

 What is the Gaza Strip? What you want to be aware of the domain at the core of the Israel-Hamas war The Gaza Strip has been the focal point of weighty siege for over seven days after Israel sent off retaliatory airstrikes for the extraordinary dread assault by Palestinian assailant bunch Hamas on Oct. 7. The territory — a limited segment of land among Israel and Egypt, close to the Mediterranean Ocean — is home to generally 2.3 million Palestinians and is portrayed as quite possibly of the most thickly populated put on The planet. The 140-square-mile district is generally the size of Philadelphia. Most of the people who live in Gaza are youthful, with practically 65% of the populace younger than 24. ' World's biggest outside jail' Beginning around 2007, Israel has forced an air, land and ocean bar on the Gaza Strip, saying the move is important to protect the country from Hamas' assaults. Gaza is encircled by substantial walls and security barriers. Palestinians are di...

The barbaric act of Hamas against Israeli children and women

  Hamas is a paramilitary group that has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union, and Israel. The group has been responsible for numerous attacks on Israeli civilians, including children and women. #BarbericHamas #BrutalityagainstIsraeliwWomenChildren #IndiawithIsrael #TerroristHamas  In one particularly barbaric act, Hamas militants attacked a school bus in southern Israel in 2004, killing five Israeli children and wounding several others. In another attack, Hamas militants fired rockets into a residential area in Ashkelon, killing a three-year-old Israeli girl. Hamas has also been responsible for the deaths of numerous Israeli soldiers. In 2014, Hamas militants killed two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border tunnel. In another attack, Hamas militants killed three Israeli soldiers in an ambush. Hamas's attacks on Israeli civilians are a clear violation of international law. The Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits the targeting of civi...

Israel says Rafah is Hamas' last stronghold in the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue the long-running offensive against the southern Gaza town of Rafah, regardless of Hamas' response to calls for a new ceasefire and the return of Israeli hostages. Hopes for an end to the conflict have risen in recent days, with Egypt once again calling for the resumption of negotiations between Israel and Hamas. But so far there is little agreement between the two sides on the most important differences. Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has expressed concern about Israel's increasing isolation from the conflict in Gaza. Most of Gaza'...
