On June 13 the Israel Defense Forces launched a large-scale preemptive strike, codenamed Operation Rising Lion, targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities and military infrastructure, killing key military leaders and nuclear scientists, prompting Iranian retaliatory missile and drone attacks on Israel.
Shemesh was a squad commander in the Shimshon Battalion 92 in the Kfir Brigade.
The strike on Isfahan city followed Israel’s massive overnight sorties targeting Iranian military leaders and nuclear assets, including Iran’s main enrichment facility at Natanz, which is also in Isfahan province.
The IDF issued a Farsi-language warning to Iranian civilians, warning them to evacuate areas in the vicinity of ‘military weapons production sites.’
