— 🇮🇱/🇮🇷 IDF Spokesman: 'Our response to Iran has concluded, and it was successful'

By the way, I must give some credit to myself, I predicted (in a private chat) that the Israelis would strike on Simchat Torah, which started last night and lasts till the end of today.

It was probably symbolic, because Hamas' October 7th attack is also known as the 'Simchat Torah Massacre' due to it taking place on that holiday last year. It signifies 'new beginnings' in the Jewish year.

— In my opinion, it is clear that the vast majority of the attack was thwarted, and they probably managed to hit some empty parts of IRGC installations.

I would estimate anywhere between 5 to 10 hits total, in a 'best case scenario' for Israel, although we only have visual confirmation of 1 or 2 hits currently, one near Tehran and one in Eslamshahr.

The explosions were very small so I doubt there was any major damage, probably some of them were caused by quadcopters.

No critical targets were attacked, the military targets were very low value, like empty IRGC training grounds (firing ranges and parade grounds) and some warehouses as well as drone assembly points.
