Meanwhile, Iranian security forces located a three-story Israeli drone factory inside Iran, as per The Times of Israel, quoting semi-official IRGC-linked Tasnim news agency.

According to the report, Tehran believes other sites are present in the country, and security forces are operating against them.

In Israel's initial strikes on Friday, it used explosive-carrying quadcopter drones, rockets, and other sophisticated equipment located inside Iran for precision attacks on Iranian nuclear scientists, military leaders, anti-aircraft batteries, and surface-to-surface missiles.

The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that they were smuggled into the country, and not manufactured there, as per The Times of Israel.

"All Israelis are targets for the Iranian regime. All Israelis are heroes to us."

As per the Times of Israel, Israel appears to be striking Parchin, according to Iranian media. The Mehr News Agency posted a video showing air defense systems activating in the area in response to strikes.

The IDF said it is striking surface-to-surface missile launch sites in central Iran. The IDF Home Front Command told Israelis to remain close to shelters, ahead of an expected missile barrage. That instruction remains in force.
