Sirens In Israel, Iranian Oil Fields Struck, Netanyahu Vows 'Surprises'

TEL AVIV -- Sirens rang out here early on March 8 amid the latest ballistic missile attack, shortly after the Israeli military announced it had launched a fresh wave of air strikes on Iran.

The early morning exchanges followed what appeared to be the first Israeli attack on Iranian oil fields and a late-night TV address by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in which he said Israel had an "organized plan with many surprises" in store.

Netanyahu told Israelis the campaign would "destabilize the regime" and that "the moment of truth is drawing near."

In a statement on the attacks on Iranian oil fields, the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) said the military forces of the Iranian terror regime make direct and frequent use of these fuel tanks.

The attack followed an announcement by IDF chief Eyal Zamir on March 6 that operations against Iran were entering a new phase.

Irans Fars news agency said three oil depots in western Tehran were struck by Israeli jets.
