Israel Intercepts Iranian Drones, Strikes Nuclear Sites amid Rising Tensions

Israel has intensified its military campaign against Iran, with the Israeli army confirming multiple airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear facilities, including a recent attack on centrifuge production sites in Isfahan as part of Operation Rising Lion. These strikes aim to significantly impair Iran's nuclear enrichment capabilities, delaying its progress by several years. In response, Iran has launched numerous drone attacks against northern and southern Israel, with at least one drone successfully hitting a home in Beit She’an, causing significant damage but no injuries. The Israeli air force has intercepted many Iranian UAVs, although Iran has fired over 1,050 drones since the conflict escalated. Meanwhile, reports indicate that an Israeli drone targeted and killed an Iranian nuclear scientist in Tehran, marking a continuation of Israel's campaign against key Iranian nuclear figures. Additionally, two to four U.S. B-2 bombers capable of striking Iran's fortified nuclear sites were observed departing Whiteman Air Force Base, signaling possible U.S. involvement or support in the ongoing conflict.
