The Israeli military said on Saturday it had concluded its air attack on Iran, saying it hit the country's missile manufacturing facilities, surface-to-air missile arrays and other aerial capabilities in several regions.

"Based on intelligence, IAF (air force) aircraft struck missile manufacturing facilities used to produce the missiles that Iran fired at Israel over the last year," the military said in a statement.

"Simultaneously, the IDF (military) struck surface-to-air missile arrays and additional Iranian aerial capabilities, that were intended to restrict Israel's aerial freedom of operation in Iran," the military added.
