Israel has targeted Iranian military sites during three waves of airstrikes.
The Israeli military said it conducted the “precise strikes” in response to what it called “the continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against Israel”.
It is the first time Israel’s military has openly attacked Iran, which has not faced a sustained barrage of fire from a foreign enemy since its 1980s war with Iraq.
Following the strikes that ended just before sunrise on Saturday, an Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) statement said: “Based on intelligence, IAF aircraft struck missile manufacturing facilities used to produce the missiles that Iran fired at the State of Israel over the last year.
