Israeli President Isaac Herzog hailed the United States on Saturday as a "true ally" of Israel when it comes to mutual cooperation, in remarks that followed the strikes on Iran.

Applauding Israel's strikes on Iran, Herzog said: "I especially wish to thank our great friend the USA for being a true ally, and for the overt and covert cooperation," he said in a statement without elaborating.

Israel struck military sites in Iran early on Saturday, saying it was in retaliation for Tehran's attacks earlier this month.
