Iran has been "relentlessly attacking" Israel since October 7th "on seven fronts – including direct attacks from Iranian soil," according to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), which stated the strikes are a retaliation.
“Like every other sovereign country in the world, the State of Israel has the right and the duty to respond,” the statement added.

Iran launched a volley of missiles towards Israel earlier in October following the murder of Hassan Nasrallah, the head of Hezbollah, and other others. For weeks, the area has been anticipating Israel's reaction.
