Israel resumes attacks on Iranian targets: Israeli army radio

By Yasin Gungor

ISTANBUL (AA) - Israel resumed attacks on Iranian targets late Friday, continuing military operations that began earlier in the day, the Israeli army radio reported.

The strikes represent a continuation of Israel's military operation against Iran launched Friday morning, targeting the country's nuclear program and long-range missile capabilities.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared earlier on Friday that the operation would continue until the "threat" is eliminated.

"This operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat," Netanyahu said.

Iran's IRNA News Agency reported that air defenses were reactivated in the capital Tehran to intercept fresh Israeli strikes.
