Israel army begins striking north Iran

  • Israeli media reports said the air force was striking Iranian navy vessels at the port city of Bandar Anzali, on the coast of the Caspian Sea

JERUSALEM: The Israeli military said Wednesday it had launched airstrikes in northern Iran for the first time since the war began on February 28.
“The Israeli Air Force, acting on navy and IDF intelligence, began striking targets in northern Iran for the first time during Operation Roaring Lion,” the military said.
Israeli media reports said the air force was striking Iranian navy vessels at the port city of Bandar Anzali, on the coast of the Caspian Sea.
The war began with a joint US-Israel attack on Iran and has since expanded across much of the Middle East.
