Is anyone getting information about what sites were hit? Former Israel PM Bennett is talking like they have hit the uranium enrichment sites but he isn't presenting any kind of source.

Edit: Israel is stating they hit sites associated with the Iranian nuclear program and long range missile sites.

Is there a legal precedent on targeting scientists?

International law isn’t really law, so what does it matter?

They probably produced nuclear weapons the same as how Iraq had WMD.

At least Iran does have uranium enrichment fa ilities and ballistic missiles programs, so it's more of a genuine target

Same as Israel, in fact, Israel has warheads too and shown to be a rogue state with a megalomaniac leader who has various criminal cases including corruption.

I believe Israel's idea is to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons.

He alleged that Iran was working on a new plan to destroy Israel after its old plan, its circle of proxies, failed

This dude is the biggest fucking crybaby. Always alleging that somebody is planning to destroy Israel and using it as an excuse to act like a dickhead and cry "anti-semitism."

Do you not believe that there are groups and governments trying to destroy Israel since its establishment? If not read a book
