TEL AVIV: Iran splintered Tel Aviv with raining missile attacks on October 1, only to be followed by an Israel retaliation on October 25th. Israel attacked Iranian military bases on Saturday morning, in a mission spearheaded by a few female pilots.
Israel also released pictures of female members of the Israeli Air Force sitting on a fighter jet. The face is purposefully blurred in the photos while the news has gone viral on social media. Israel dubbed the operation as 'Days of Repentance'. Four people including two Iranian soldiers were killed in the attack.

The attack was carried out by F-15 and F-16 fighter jets. It is reported that there were four women in this team. Iran's military said Israel had targeted military bases in Iran's Ilam, Khuzestan and Tehran provinces. Meanwhile, Iran said they would retaliate in equal measure against Israel’s atrocities. However, it is expected of Iran to not go overboard in its response as the Israel attack on military bases has already depleted Iran’s stack of military armaments. A fierce retaliation is deemed unreasonable.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard described Israel's attack as a ‘failure’. The Iranian government is trying to keep the footage of the damage from going out. The Revolutionary Guard instructed the people not to cooperate with foreign media. Attacks on oil and energy facilities and nuclear power plants, or assassination of Iranian leaders, could have upended the intensity of the war. But, Israel tends to play it safe and drag the tensions in the Middle East to yet another stage. Israel scaled back the attack after strong warnings from the US.
