The Israeli military has announced the end of strikes against military targets in Iran. US officials said the White House was notified by Israel ahead of the strikes. DW has the latest.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out strikes against military targets in Iran early Saturday morning.
The Israeli military then said it has ended its retaliation on Iran about three hours after it first announced the news. It also warned Iran against further escalation.
The IDF said the strikes were in response to “months of continuous attacks from Iran.” Israel had long vowed to respond to Iran’s missile attack on its territory on October 1.
The Iranian assault followed the killing of the leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, in late September in Lebanon.
It also followed the killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed by an explosion in Tehran in July that Iranian officials blamed on Israel.
