More than 800 strike sorties have been carried out by the Israeli Air Force using approximately 16,000 different munitions thus far in the attacks on Iran, which Israel calls Operation Roaring Lion, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Wednesday.
The U.S. and Israel launched what they described as a pre-emptive strike against Iran on February 28, claiming that Tehran was developing a nuclear weapon and posed a threat—an allegation Iran has denied. In response, Iran launched counterattacks, firing missiles and drones at Israel, as well as at U.S. assets and other targets across the Middle East.
