Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened that "Iran will pay a very heavy price," stating that there were civilian casualties from Iran's retaliatory attacks.
On the 15th (local time), Prime Minister Netanyahu visited the coastal city of Bat Yam near Tel Aviv, where he condemned Iran for planning the killing of civilians, women, and children in an attack on residential buildings hit by Iranian missiles, saying so.
In response to Israel's preemptive strike on the early morning of the 13th, Iran conducted two retaliatory missile and drone strikes that night and between the nights of the 14th and 15th. Israeli relief authorities reported a total of 13 deaths and 380 injuries from the three days of bombings. In Iran's strike on the night of the 13th, 3 people died, while at least 10 were killed in the second strike.
Iran claimed that only in Israel's first strike on the 13th, 78 people died and 320 were injured, asserting that most of the casualties were children and women.
According to reports from Reuters and others, an Israeli military official did not respond to the question of how long the "Iranian strikes" would continue.
Instead, he noted that "there are still many targets inside Iran" and stated, "We attacked about 80 targets in Tehran yesterday evening (14th)." The official also added that they attacked the commander of the pro-Iranian Houthi forces in Yemen last night.
The Israeli military stated in a statement that "50 fighter jets flew over Tehran overnight on the 14th to 15th, attacking infrastructure and facilities related to Iran's nuclear program," adding that targets included the Ministry of National Defense headquarters and the Defense Innovation Research Agency for Nuclear Projects (SPND).
It was also reported that there were over 720 targets within Iran attacked from the 13th over the three-day period.
