Iranian officials say that the Israeli military attacked Iran’s Fordow nuclear site on Monday, hours after US strikes on the same location on Sunday.
The Israel Defence Force (IDF) has confirmed that the attack on Fordow nuclear site is a response to four waves of missile assaults on Israel earlier today morning.
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has reported that roughly 15 ballistic missiles were fired in four waves against Northern, Central, and Southern Israel by Iran within the last hour, with a handful of impacts, none of which caused any significant damage or injuries.
An Iranian ballistic missile hit a power station in Ashdod, Southern Israel, causing disruptions in the electricity supply, according to the Israel Electric Corporation.

Response to Fordow attack
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say they changed tactics in today’s attack on Israel, targeting locations from north to south including Tel Aviv and Haifa with drones and missiles, according to Mehr News.
The Main Gate to Evin Prison in the Iranian capital of Tehran had also been struck earlier during the ongoing wave of airstrikes by the Israeli Air Force.
Evin is considered one of the most infamous prisons in Iran, serving as the primary site for incarcerating political prisoners, journalists, academics, human rights activists, dual nationals, and foreign citizens accused of propaganda offenses by the Iranian Regime.
“The IDF is now attacking with unprecedented force regime targets and government repression bodies in the heart of Tehran – for every shot at the Israeli home front, the Iranian dictator will be punished, and the attacks will continue with full force,” Israel Katz stated.
Major airstrikes are currently underway against targets in the Iranian capital of Tehran, with smoke seen rising from several areas across the city following at least five strikes by the Israeli Air Force.
Iran to continue attacks
Earlier today, Lt. Col. Ebrahim Zolfaghari, Spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, said that in response to Saturday’s series of strikes by the U.S. against nuclear facilities inside Iran, they will carry out powerful and targeted operations that will inflict heavy, regretful, and unprecedented upon Israel.
According to IDF assessments, Iran fired one ballistic missile at northern Israel. It was successfully intercepted. In total, around 10 ballistic missiles were launched, with no reported injuries.
