Israel and Iran exchange strikes as conflict enters day two
Dubai | Iran launched retaliatory missile and drone strikes on Israel on Saturday morning, killing at least three people and wounding dozens, after a series of blistering Israeli attacks on Iran's nuclear program and its armed forces a day earlier.
Israel's strike used warplanes, as well as drones smuggled into the country in advance, to assault key facilities and kill top generals and scientists. Iran's UN ambassador said 78 people were killed and more than 320 wounded in the attacks.
