Israel Strikes Iran


Israel's airstrikes on Iran Saturday morning targeted military sites, including two secretive bases, satellite imagery shows. The attacks, which killed at least four soldiers, came in response to Iran firing around 200 missiles into Israel this month, most of which were intercepted. See a timeline of escalations here.


The attacks are the first Israel has acknowledged on Iranian soil. They came in waves, with jet fighters destroying portions of Iran's missile defense system, including those protecting Iranian oil facilities. Israel also struck three missile manufacturing bases and two military bases, including a former nuclear testing site.


Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel achieved all its objectives. The attacks steered clear of direct strikes on oil and nuclear facilities, which Iran warned could provoke a full-scale war. 


Separately, Israeli airstrikes in northern Gaza killed at least 33 people, per the Hamas-run Health Ministry. A truck-ramming attack in Tel Aviv killed one person and injured at least 30 more. See war updates here
