Israel launched another wave of strikes across Iran on Tuesday, March 24, escalating its military campaign after Defence Minister Israel Katz said operations would continue “with full force.”
The Israeli military said it hit regime-linked production facilities, including targets in Isfahan, a city that is home to one of Iran’s key nuclear sites.
The Israel Defense Forces said the latest attacks were part of a continuing effort to degrade Iran’s ballistic missile manufacturing network and broader defence industrial base.
The fresh strikes came amid intensifying rhetoric from both sides, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warning that it would target Israeli military positions in Gaza and northern Israel if what it called “crimes against civilians in Lebanon and Palestine continue.”
In a statement, the IRGC said “gathering places” of “enemy forces” would face “heavy missile and drone attacks.” It also accused the Israeli military of exploiting the regional conflict to carry out “war crimes” against Palestinian and Lebanese civilians.
