It's begun, according to sources across the world--Israel has started to return fire against Iran and its proxies, just over a year after the Oct. 7 terror attack.
Chief foreign correspondent for Fox News, Trey Yingst, reported via his X account:
Israel has started their attack against Iran, Fox News can confirm.
The strikes are meant to send a message of deterrence, I’m told.
There was communication with the Americans ahead of the strikes over the past several days.
Reports include explosions in the capital of Iran, Tehran, and other cities.
BREAKING: At least 7 explosions sounded in Iran as Israel began its retaliatory strike against the Islamic Republic.

Two innocent lives were taken today in a Hezbollah rocket attack on the Muslim town of Majd al-Krum, near Karmiel.
