AKIPRESS.COM - Israel struck military sites in Iran early on Saturday, saying it was retaliating against Tehran's missile attack on Israel this month, the latest clash in the escalating conflict between the heavily armed rivals, Reuters reports.
Hours later the Israeli military said it had completed the strikes and achieved its objectives, warning Iran not to respond. A semi-official Iranian news agency vowed a "proportional reaction" to the Israeli moves against Tehran.
Iranian media reported multiple explosions over several hours in the capital and at nearby military bases, starting shortly after 2 a.m. (2230 GMT on Friday).
Before dawn, Israel's public broadcaster said three waves of strikes had been completed and that the operation was over.
Iran said its air defence system successfully countered Israel's attacks on military targets in the provinces of Tehran, Khuzestan and Ilam with "limited damage" to some locations.
