The Israeli military reported that it intercepted a drone entering Israel from Lebanon on Saturday, shortly after conducting airstrikes on multiple military targets in Iran. "Following sirens that were activated between 08:39 (05:39 GMT) and 08:41 in the Upper Galilee region, the Israeli Air Force intercepted a UAV that crossed into Israel from Lebanon," the military stated.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior officials conducted security assessments following the military's airstrikes on Iran on Saturday. "Prime Minister Netanyahu is reviewing the security situation at the Kirya air force base alongside the defense minister, army chief, Mossad director, and Shin Bet head," his office announced.

According to the semi-official news agency Tasnim, Iran plans to resume normal flight operations starting at 9 a.m. (0530 GMT) on Saturday. The country had previously halted flights following Israeli strikes on military targets. In contrast, Iraq has continued to suspend its flight operations, even after the strikes have ended.

Saudi Arabia condemned the military strikes on Iran, labeling them a "violation of its sovereignty" and international laws. The kingdom urged all involved parties to practice maximum restraint and called on the international community to take action to de-escalate tensions and resolve conflicts in the region. On Saturday, Israel carried out strikes against military bases in Iran, resulting in "limited damage."

In response to inquiries about the U.S. involvement in Israel's strikes on Iran, spokesperson Sean Savett stated, “Our goal is to enhance diplomacy and reduce tensions in the Middle East.” A senior administration official noted that President Joe Biden and his national security team have collaborated with Israeli leaders in recent weeks to advocate for a response that is focused and proportional, minimizing the risk to civilians.

In a televised briefing, Israeli military spokesman Hagari announced that the recent strikes aimed at Iran's air defenses have granted Israel greater freedom to maneuver in Iranian airspace. "The state of Israel now has increased operational latitude in the skies over Iran," he stated.

A Biden administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity to Reuters, confirmed that communication channels with Iran are open, and the U.S. has clearly conveyed its position both directly and indirectly. Following Israel's offensive against Iran, the Biden administration cautioned Tehran about potential "consequences" if it retaliates.

A representative from Iran's civil aviation authority announced that all flights in Iran have been suspended indefinitely on Saturday. Similarly, Iraq has halted all flight operations following Israeli airstrikes on Tehran and its surrounding regions early Saturday. Iran has vowed to respond to Israel's aggression.

The Iranian government has consistently warned that any attack on its territory will be met with a strong retaliatory response. In the early hours of Saturday, Israeli forces executed “precise strikes” targeting military installations in Iran.

Local media reported that four additional explosions were heard in eastern Tehran on Saturday, indicating that "air defense remains active" in the capital.
