Adding from Iran:

Israeli attacks are being carried out from within Iran using local assets, according to Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Speaker of Iran’s Parliament.

"A significant portion of enemy strikes are not direct military attacks, but operations carried out with the help of internal agents. Our vigilant citizens must report any suspicious activity to the security services immediately and with utmost care," Ghalibaf said, as quoted by IRNA.

Israel had launched its first strikes using drones hidden inside Iran. Over the weekend, Tehran saw a wave of incidents — homemade bombs, car explosions, and even a major water pipeline rupture.
