I read about some military experts that were interviewed by a Norwegian paper. They essentially said that Israel is doing its best to chip away at Irans nuclear capabilities from several sides: Targeting everything from scientists to electric infrastructure, to centrifuges and the facilities themselves.
However, they seemed to think it was completely unrealistic that Israel would be able to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons by military means. They even speculated that even the Israelis don’t see it as realistic, but that they’re attacking in an attempt to delay the inevitable and hopefully drag the US into the war before it happens.
A point they made is that the facility at Fordow is too deep to be reached even with the world’s heaviest bunker-busters. Iran is apparently also working on a new facility that will also be ≈ 100 m deep in the mountain.
Isreal: “This is the start of a weekslong campaign”
Isreal, day 1: decapitates military, destroys air defenses
Day 2: Now able to fly with impunity, strikes military and energy targets in broad daylight
News media, day 3: “Isreal has failed to totally end all Iranian nuclear efforts!”
