TEL AVIV—Israel destroyed Iran’s main uranium enrichment site at Natanz and killed several top Iranian military officials and senior nuclear scientists in an ongoing operation that also neutralized an initial retaliatory drone attack, according to Israeli officials.
The surprise overnight assault—carried out by approximately 200 Israeli aircraft and supported by covert ground operations inside Iran—hit dozens of high-value targets across the country. The Israeli military said the mission marked the first phase of Operation Rising Lion, a “historic preemptive strike” aimed at eliminating what officials described as an existential nuclear threat.
