Israel may have issued a warning to Iran ahead of its recent strike. The broadcaster, reporting from Jordan due to restrictions on covering events from Israel and the West Bank, provided details on the series of approvals leading up to the strike.
On Friday evening, Israel’s cabinet convened, with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu authorizing the operation after briefing ministers in the preceding days. Israel has confirmed that all aircraft involved in the mission returned safely after being guided by extensive intelligence.
In an intriguing development, Israeli media sources quoted unnamed officials suggesting that Israel sent a preemptive message to Iran on Friday, cautioning against any retaliation. Although specifics on how this message was delivered remain unknown, it aligns with statements from the Israeli military warning Iran that they consider the matter concluded and seek no further retaliation.
