According to a New York Times report, Israeli planes first attacked air defence batteries and radars in Syria and Iraq. After clearing the path, Israeli planes flew in the direction of Iran, a distance of more than 1,600km from Israel – and struck Iran’s air defence systems and facilities producing long-range missiles.
Relatives of some of the 1,200 people killed in the October 7th, 2023, Hamas attack on southern Israel heckled Mr Netanyahu at a memorial ceremony on Sunday marking the one-year anniversary of the attack according to the Jewish calendar. “Shame on you” and “my father was killed” they shouted at him.
