Israel targeted air defense system for Iran nuclear site - ABC News

Israel targeted the defense system of the Natanz nuclear facility in 
Iran during its strikes Friday morning, ABC quoted a senior American 
official as saying.

The Israelis were targeting an air defense radar site near Isfahan 
that’s part of the protection of the Natanz nuclear facility," ABC 
said, in the name of the official. 

"The first assessment is that the strike took out the site, but 
assessment hasn’t been completed, the official said."

The official noted, however, that the strike was meant to send a signal 
to Iran about Israeli capabilities, but not to escalate the situation. 

Iran has downplayed the attack's significance
The attack, which Israel has not claimed credit for, was launched in 
response to the aerial barrage of ballistic missiles and attack drones 
that Iran sent to Israel last Saturday night following an airstrike in 
Damascus, widely attributed to Israel, that killed a senior officer in 
Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).

The officer was connected to Hezbollah, the Iranian proxy that has been 
attacking Israel almost daily since Hamas's attack on October 7.

In the hours since the strikes in Iran Friday morning, Iran has 
downplayed their effect and significance, declining to directly point 
the finger at Israel and announcing that no damage was done to any 
nuclear sites. The International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) also 
reported that no damage was done to nuclear sites, and there were no 
reported casualties.
