The IDF compared their approach with Iran's approach, which launched attacks in civilian areas.
“This is the message we spread to Iranian citizens. Although Iran chose to strike without warning, we chose to warn an innocent person [sic] People even if that means giving up the element of surprise,” the IDF posted to X Sunday morning. “We warned them in Persian, and on many channels. Because human life is first and foremost. That's the difference between us and our enemies. ”
