During a briefing Wednesday evening, Israel Defense Forces Chief Effie Defrin gave an update on the last 24 hours of the ongoing military operation against Iran. "In the past 24 hours, we have launched three major waves of strikes," Defrin said, noting that most of the aerial attacks have been focused on Iran's capital city, Tehran.

Israel said it had struck uranium enrichment sites in Iran after the two countries launched another barrage of missiles at each other overnight.
