UPDATE via The Times of Israel: “The IDF confirms it has launched an aerial campaign against Iran’s nuclear program. Dozens of targets across Iran related to the nuclear program and other military facilities are being struck by the Israeli Air Force, it says.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israel is conducting a “preemptive strike against Iran” against Iran Thursday night (early Friday Iran time.) It is not certain if Iran’s nuclear sites are being targeted in this attack.
