Tel aviv: The Israeli forces launched attacks against targets in Iran's northern Noor area, the Israeli army claimed on Friday. The army's announcement came in a post on the US social media company X, without providing further details.

According to Anadolu Agency, hostilities have escalated since Israel and the US launched joint attacks on Iran on Feb. 28, which resulted in the deaths of over 1,300 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Iran has since retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets. The ongoing military exchanges underscore the heightened tensions in the region, with both sides engaging in aggressive postures.
