STORYLINE:
Iran launched retaliatory missile and drone strikes on Israel into Saturday morning, killing at least three people and wounding dozens, after a series of blistering Israeli attacks on the heart of Iran’s nuclear program and its armed forces.
Israel’s assault used warplanes — as well as drones smuggled into the country in advance, according to officials — to assault key facilities and kill top generals and scientists.
Iran’s U.N. ambassador said 78 people were killed and more than 320 wounded in the attacks.
Israel asserted the barrage was necessary before Iran got any closer to building a nuclear weapon, although experts and the U.S. government have assessed that Tehran was not actively working on such a weapon before the strikes.
Iran retaliated by launching waves of drones and ballistic missiles at Israel, where explosions lit the night skies over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and shook the buildings below.
The Israeli military urged civilians, already rattled by 20 months of war sparked by Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, to head to shelter for hours.
“There was a siren, I woke my wife up, we ran downstairs to the shelter, we locked the door, after a few minutes there was a boom that shook the entire shelter’s door," local resident Moshe Shani told The Associated Press.
“We thought, that’s it the house was gone, and half of the house was gone, fell apart.”
