Iran has launched a counter-missile attack in response to the joint attack by Israel and the United States.
An Iranian missile hit northern Israel late Friday night, breaking through Israeli air defenses, according to regional media reports. Multiple explosions were heard in the area after the attack.
Warning sirens sounded across Israel as the counterattack took place. The Israeli army said in a statement that citizens were urged to take shelter in accordance with the Home Front Command’s instructions and that the air force was active to counter any potential threats.
A senior Iranian official warned in comments to Reuters after the Israeli attack that Tehran’s response would be “devastating.” The latest retaliation deepened tensions in the Middle East.
