Iran launched a new wave of missiles toward Israel early Saturday, capping off a night of attacks between the two sides that unleashed multiple explosions and destruction in Tel Aviv and Tehran.
The long-running conflict between Iran and Israel escalated after Israel’s unprecedented attack early Friday on Iranian nuclear and military targets, which killed some of the country’s most senior leaders and raised fears of a wider regional war.
Three people have been killed in Israel and dozens injured by Iranian strikes, Israeli authorities said. Iran reported at least 78 people killed in Israeli strikes and 320 wounded, mostly civilians.
Israel’s defense minister said Iran had “crossed red lines” by firing at civilian population centers, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said “more is on the way.” Iran vowed a “crushing response” to the Israeli attack, and said it would intensify its attacks. (CNN)
