The IDF says it continues to strike in Iran, and its next step is to "operate freely over Tehran."  
 
A series of strikes overnight took out air defense systems, and this morning, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said that "the way to Tehran has been paved."

Defense Minister Israel Katz warns Iran's leader Ali Khamenei that if missiles continue to be fired at Israel, "Tehran will burn."

"The Iranian dictator is turning the citizens of Iran into hostages and creating a reality in which they, especially the residents of Tehran, will pay a heavy price for the criminal attack on Israeli civilians," Katz says during an assessment with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, Mossad director David Barnea, and other top military officials.

"If Khamenei continues to fire missiles at the Israeli home front, Tehran will burn," Katz warns.

Iran has fired some 200 ballistic missiles at Israel in several barrages since last night, according to the IDF.
 
Most of the missiles were intercepted by air defenses. The military says that around 25%, less than 50, were not intercepted "according to protocol," allowing them to strike open areas without causing damage to any critical infrastructure.
 
A "small number" of missiles made it through air defenses, the IDF says, and caused casualties and damage, including in residential areas in Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, and Rishon Lezion in central Israel.
 
Three Israelis were killed and some 70 were wounded in the missile impacts.
 
The military says that all of its bases, including air bases, are operating as usual with no harm to their functionality.
 
Several drones fired at Israel overnight were also shot down by the Israeli Air Force and Navy. This comes after 100 drones fired by Iran on Friday were also intercepted.

The IDF denies striking Iran's Fordo nuclear facility, after state media said yesterday that there had been "limited damage" to the site following an Israeli attack.
 
Meanwhile, the military says that its strike on the Isfahan nuclear site destroyed several critical sections, including uranium conversion infrastructure and labs.
 
The strike was launched after the military says it identified efforts by Iran to enrich weapons-grade uranium at Isfahan.
 
The activity at Isfahan "leaves no room for doubt, Iran was working to produce weapons of mass destruction," the military says.

The IDF names the nine Iranian nuclear scientists it assassinated in the opening strikes of its operation against Iran's nuclear program early Friday, and details the efforts to kill them.
 
The military says these scientists had advanced efforts by Iran to obtain a nuclear bomb.
 
The nine are named as: Fereydoon Abbasi, expert in nuclear engineering; Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, expert in physics; Akbar Motalebi Zadeh, expert in chemical engineering; Saeed Barji, expert in materials engineering; Amir Hassan Fakhahi, expert in physics; Abd al-Hamid Minoushehr, expert in reactor physics; Mansour Asgari, expert in physics; Ahmad Reza Zolfaghari Daryani, expert in nuclear engineering; and Ali Bakhouei Katirimi, expert in mechanics.
 
"All the scientists and experts who were eliminated were significant sources of knowledge in the Iranian nuclear project, and had decades of cumulative experience in the development of nuclear weapons," the IDF says.
 
It says that many of them were successors to Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the "father of the Iranian nuclear project," who was allegedly assassinated by Israel in 2020.
 
According to the military, the nine were killed in simultaneous strikes on Tehran early Friday, in the same wave of attacks that eliminated dozens of military commanders, including six top officials.
 
"The elimination of the scientists was made possible following in-depth intelligence research that intensified over the past year, as part of a classified and compartmentalized IDF plan," the military says.
 
As part of the plan, the IDF says dozens of intelligence researchers "worked on a secret project aimed at tracking key nuclear scientists in Iran over the course of several years."

BREAKING: Israel's Ben Gurion airport has been closed until further notice

Les quatrième et cinquième vagues de missiles n'ont rencontré quasiment aucune défense aérienne israélienne : elles visaient principalement… « quelque chose dans le sud d'Israël » : apparemment, la base aérienne de Nevatim et le complexe nucléaire voisin de Dimona. Aucun rapport n'a été fait sur les dégâts causés à cet endroit.
 
En d’autres termes : il s’agit d’une « pure bataille d’usure ».
 
Les facteurs cruciaux vont maintenant être tels que (quelques exemples me viennent immédiatement à l'esprit) :
 

• Combien de missiles balistiques l'Iran possède-t-il encore ?

• Combien d'intercepteurs de missiles balistiques Israël reste-t-il, et les États-Unis peuvent-ils se précipiter sur Israël ?

• Combien de temps encore l'IASF peut-elle continuer à opérer sur une distance de 1 200 à 1 500 kilomètres pour maintenir une présence « continue » au-dessus de l'Iran et continuer à frapper des cibles là-bas ?

Pour l’instant, je n’ai pas de réponses claires.
