Israel’s military campaign against Iranian targets is anticipated to continue for several weeks  – “weeks, not days” – rather than wrapping up quickly, according to CNN, which cited both American and Israeli government sources. This prolonged timeline has reportedly been met with quiet assent from Washington.
Talks between Israeli and U.S. officials have made it clear that both sides share a mutual understanding about the extended nature of the operation. A senior Israeli official told CNN that the Trump administration has not raised any objections in private regarding the operation lasting several weeks.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu early Sunday afternoon visited the scene of the attack in Bat Yam, where at least six people were killed, including two children, and three people are still missing. “Iran will pay a very heavy price for deliberately murdering civilians, women, and children,” Netanyahu said. “I am here in Bat Yam with the Home Front Command forces and rescue teams. On behalf of all of Am Yisrael, I express sorrow for the loss of life that occurred here. Our hearts are with the families.” “It is vital to follow the instructions because those who adhered to the Home Front Command’s guidelines and stayed in protected areas were saved.

The Israeli Air Force struck Iranian ballistic missile launchers, air defense systems, and radars overnight, some of which were used in attacks on Israel. The IDF says it will continue targeting such sites to prevent further threats. Around 80 targets were hit in Tehran, including nuclear-related sites and military fuel depots. In total, the IDF says 170 strikes have hit 720 assets across Iran since early Friday.

The airstrikes by Israeli F-35 fighter jets on Iran overnight Thursday appeared to be the initial launch of Israel’s war on Iran. However, the airstrikes were preempted by internal attacks carried out by covert teams on the ground using drones that were smuggled into the Islamic Republic part by part over months. Israel smuggled parts of hundreds of quadcopter drones rigged with explosives into Iran—in suitcases, trucks, and shipping containers, the Wall Street Journal reported. Munitions that could be fired from unmanned platforms were also smuggled in, said people familiar with the operation. The Mossad brought in the drones and munitions through commercial channels via usually unwitting business partners.
