Israel on Sunday launched strikes on “dozens” of military targets across Iran with fighter jets using 60+ munitions, a move building on America's Operation Midnight Hammer, which struck three key nuclear facilities: Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz.

According to a statement from the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), fighter jets had struck the "Imam Hussein" Strategic Missile Command Center, where long-range Khorramshahr missiles were stored—one of the most important targets of Israel's latest offensive. Tel Aviv claims that as many as 60 missiles had been launched on it from this Iranian command centre.
The statement also confirmed strikes on Iran's Bushehr province, where a “massive explosion” had been reported by Iranian media on Sunday, as well as in Ahvaz and US-struck Isfahan.
In these areas, “military launchers, military sites involved in the production of aerial defense batteries, the ‘Third Brigade’ UAV command center, a UAV storage facility near the command center, and soldiers loading missile launchers” were said to be targeted. Three IRGC members were also reportedly killed.
In a video address on X, posted a few hours after the US strikes, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked US President Donald Trump for his assistance in what Tel Aviv calls Operation 'Am Kalavi', conducted with “full operational coordination between the IDF and the United States military”.

במבצע ׳עם כלביא׳ אנחנו השגנו יחד הישגים חסרי תקדים בתולדות ישראל.
אתם זוכרים שמתחילת המבצע, אני הבטחתי לכם שמתקני הגרעין של איראן יושמדו, בדרך זו או אחרת.
ההבטחה הזו קוימה.

Iran's health ministry has said that US strikes on its nuclear facilities had wounded an unspecified number of people, but also stated that none “showed any signs of radioactive contamination”.

With no reports of nuclear contamination yet, speculations arise as to the extent of damage done to Iran's nuclear enrichment programme, which Trump had said was “completely and totally obliterated”.
In that regard, Israeli military spokesperson Brigadier General Effie Defrin has stated that Tel Aviv was still assessing the damage done to Iran’s nuclear sites, and added that it was too early to confirm whether enriched nuclear material had been removed from the Fordow site beforehand, as per an Associated Press report.
