Israel says roughly 50 of its fighter jets carried out dozens of strikes inside Iran overnight targeting the country's nuclear development capabilities and its military and energy infrastructure.
The IDF says it has struck over 170 targets and more than 720 "military infrastructure components" in just three days of fighting as part of its "Operation Rising Lion."
"Throughout the night, Israeli Air Force fighter jets flew over Tehran and struck infrastructure and targets of the Iranian nuclear project, under the guidance of the Intelligence Directorate," the IDF said.
"The strike targeted more than 80 objectives, including the headquarters of the Iranian Ministry of Defense, the headquarters of the nuclear project (SPND), and additional targets where the Iranian regime hid the nuclear archive," the statement continued.
The Israeli government urged its citizens to avoid public gatherings and to remain near "protected spaces" on Sunday.
The guidance from the Israeli Home Front Command comes as Iran continues its missile barrage in response to Israel's own strikes on Tehran this weekend.
"The Home Front Command has now instructed residents across the country to remain close to protected spaces. Movement in public areas should be minimized, and public gatherings must be avoided. Upon receiving an alert, enter a protected space and remain there until an official update is issued," Israeli officials warned.
Israeli citizens receive warnings of missile and rocket attacks via the Home Front Command app on cellphones. The app has been warning of missile strikes roughly 15-30 minutes ahead of impact.
Trump promises to respond with 'full strength and might' of US military if Iran attacks America
U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday said the U.S. had "nothing to do with" Israel's attack against Iran but warned that any attack against the U.S. would be met with the "full strength and might" of the U.S. military.
"The U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight," Trump wrote on Truth Social in the early morning hours of Sunday.
"If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before," he continued. "However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!"
