Iranian sources claim that Tabriz airport and an underground ballistic missile base in the region were just destroyed.

Israel completely evacuates Ben Gurion International Airport – including civilian aircrafts. The airport is reportedly now shut totally shut down and vacant.

In something out of a movie, the Mossad has done something they have never done before: Released footage of an operation; this one deep inside Iran. As YWN reported earlier Friday, Mossad operatives embedded deep within Iran played a critical role in a multi-phase operation that neutralized key Iranian ballistic missile threats, working in tandem with IAF strikes. The operation targeted missiles aimed at Israel, and prevented a wide-scale response by Iran. Mossad agents, operating covertly across Iranian territory, deployed specialized combat systems with pinpoint accuracy to strike strategic targets. The meticulously planned operation unfolded in three distinct phases, each showcasing Israel’s advanced capabilities in intelligence, technology, and execution.

In a dramatic development, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz was briefed on a successful operation that eliminated most of the senior leadership of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Air Force. The officials were targeted while convened at an secret underground headquarters, according to details shared during a high-level situation assessment. Katz met with top security officials, including IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, Mossad Director David Barnea, Defense Ministry Director General Maj. Gen. (res.) Amir Baram, Head of Operations Directorate Maj. Gen. Oded Basiuk, Head of Military Intelligence Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder, Head of Technology and Logistics Directorate Maj. Gen. Eyal Harel, Home Front Command Chief Maj. Gen. Rafi Milo, and other senior figures.

An external fuel tank, likely for an F-15I “Ra’am” Strike Fighter with the Israeli Air Force, was discovered in the Daraa Governorate of Southwestern Syria. They utilize external fuel tanks to significantly extend their operational range and endurance. They are also known as “drop tanks”.

The Israeli Air Force has destroyed the Natanz nuclear facility in the massive surprise attacks early Friday morning. Multiple waves of Israeli strikes were reported throughout Iran for several hours, starting at around 3 a.m. and into the morning. Over 200 Israeli Air Force aircraft were involved in the opening strikes, and fighter jets dropped over 330 munitions on some 100 targets, the IDF said. Blasts were reported in Natanz, the site of a key nuclear facility, as well as in and around the capital Tehran. Netanyahu and Iranian state TV confirmed that one target of the strikes was the Natanz enrichment facility, one of two underground nuclear sites in the country, the other being at Fordo.

This morning, Rambam Medical Center in Haifa completed preparations for its fortified underground hospital, readying the facility for potential emergencies amid heightened regional tensions.  

All drones launched from Iran (believed to be around around 100) have Bichasdei Hashem been intercepted outside of Israel. The Home Front Command says there is still a chance of air raid sirens due to drones or missile launches by Iran, but there is no need to remain near shelters at the current time.  

The IAF conducted a powerful series of airstrikes targeting Iran’s air defense systems in the western part of the country, the IDF announced. Described as an “extensive blow,” the operation destroyed dozens of radars and air defense missile launchers, significantly weakening Iran’s ability to counter aerial threats. The strikes were strategically designed to enhance the IAF’s operational freedom in Iranian airspace, paving the way for greater maneuverability in future missions.

El Al, Arkia, and Israir have begun moving their aircraft out of Israel following widespread Israeli airstrikes on Iran and fears of retaliation. A Ben Gurion Airport spokesperson confirmed the planes were flown without passengers, and the airport is now closed until further notice. Israir stated the relocation aligns with a contingency plan prepared in recent days. El Al said its planes are being sent “to our destinations,” while Arkia did not disclose its relocation sites.

Fresh insights have come to light about the extensive groundwork that paved the way for Israel’s military operation against Iran, dubbed Operation Rising Lion. Over several years, Israel’s military and intelligence agencies worked in close coordination, amassing detailed intelligence to enable a decisive preemptive strike. According to Israel Hayom, the preparation involved years of painstaking intelligence-gathering and surveillance focused on key figures in Iran’s security establishment and nuclear program, many of whom were later targeted. Simultaneously, Israel conducted a covert campaign to weaken Iran’s strategic missile capabilities, disrupting its ability to pose a significant threat.
