Israel launched airstrikes targeting military sites near Tehran, Iran, killing two Iranian soldiers. The strikes, according to the Israel Defense Forces, respond to “months of continuous attacks” from Iran, including a missile barrage on October 1. Iran's foreign ministry asserted its right to self-defense, stating, “We will respond accordingly.” Germany urged restraint, citing Israel’s effort to avoid civilian casualties, while Russia expressed worry over heightened hostilities. Afghanistan’s Taliban-led government condemned Israel’s actions. Meanwhile, Hezbollah launched about 80 projectiles into Israel from Lebanon, prompting further tension in the region. Observers await Iran's potential response.
