Update:
Post from the Israeli army account with the above image:
After identifying efforts to rebuild: The Air Force targeted the heavy water plant in Arak; a key infrastructure for producing plutonium for nuclear weapons.

Heavy water is a unique substance used to operate nuclear reactors like the inactive Arak reactor; a reactor initially designed to have the capability to produce plutonium at a military level. This material is also used as a neutron source for nuclear weapons.

This plant was considered an important economic asset for the terrorist regime and served as a source of income for the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization. Its operation generated tens of millions of dollars in revenue for the regime each year.

Despite explicit international commitments, especially the nuclear agreement, the terrorist regime of Iran has systematically refrained from repurposing this reactor in a way that would prevent the production of plutonium at a military level, and had even deliberately ordered that this change not be completed.
