Raid on the Sun

This book laid out almost every detail of the preparation for this attack. Very good read. I'm not sure what is in these newly released documents that's not already in this book.

A lot of the planning for this raid was how to get the F-16s to Iraq and back to Israel without running our of fuel. Radical measures were taken to strip weight etc. and even then the plant was barely in range.

Unless Israel has since developed air refueling capability the Iran nuclear sites are all out of range to the Israeli Air Force.

Most of Iran is within the strike radius of the recently delivered F-15I.
