All Israeli pilots returned home safely from Iran mission, official says

An Israeli military official has confirmed that all Israeli pilots involved in Friday's strike on Iran have returned safely home, Reuters is reporting.

"We have already achieved a lot," he told foreign reporters, speaking under condition of anonymity.

He added that Israeli fighter jets had launched simultaneous strikes on multiple targets, including Iranian ballistic missiles that were pointed towards Israel.

Israel was prepared for the confrontation to continue over several days, depending in part on how Iran responded, he said, adding that Iran had already launched more than 100 drones towards Israel, many of which had already been intercepted.
