Israel used more than 100 warplanes and drones in the attacks
Israel used over 100 warplanes and unmanned drones when attacking Iran. The New York Times has spoken to several sources with access to information on the course of events.
The attack began with the Israeli military knocking out radar systems and air defenses in Syria and Iraq to prevent Iran from stopping the attacks before they reached their target.
The first wave of attacks was directed at Iran's air defense system using the fighter jets. Israel then attacked weapons factories where long-range weapons are manufactured, according to the sources. A total of 20 locations are said to have been targets for the Israeli military.
The Iranian army says four soldiers were killed in the attacks.

Netanyahu: The US did not decide which targets we chose
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls it "completely false" that the country refrained from attacking Iranian oil and energy infrastructure due to pressure from the United States, writes Sky News.
"Israel pre-selected the targets of the attack based on our national interests, not American orders," a statement from his office said.
In recent weeks, Israeli sources have stated that Netanyahu promised the White House to forego Iranian oil and nuclear energy, to calm White House concerns about a global energy crisis ahead of the US election.
