International media reported that Iran came under unprovoked strikes by Israel, which started at about 3am local time on Friday, targeting both military and nuclear facilities as well as residential areas.
The strikes resulted in the deaths of numerous Iranian military personnel and civilians and caused significant damage to critical infrastructure in several parts of the country.
Iran then launched dozens of missiles at Israel on Saturday, with explosions reported in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. - FMT
