On a tumultuous Friday, Israel executed a series of robust attacks on Iran's critical nuclear facilities, utilizing clandestinely placed drones and aircraft. The move led to the killing of significant Iranian military figures and scientists, escalating regional tensions and fears of a broader conflict.
Iran swiftly retaliated by launching ballistic missiles towards Israel, with explosions lighting up the skies above major cities like Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Amidst mounting casualties, international calls for deescalation echoed following joint American and Israeli counter-measures.
