Understand
Israel attacked military facilities in Iran on Saturday morning, but retaliation for an Iranian attack this month did not appear to target the country’s most sensitive oil and nuclear facilities, following urgent calls from allies and neighbors for restraint.
Israel’s military said dozens of jets completed three waves of pre-dawn strikes on missile factories and other sites and warned Iran not to fight back.
Iran, for its part, reported that its air defenses responded successfully to the attack, but two soldiers were killed and some locations suffered “limited damage”. A semi-official Iranian news agency promised a “proportionate reaction” to the Israeli attacks.
