Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has said that Iran crossed "red lines" on Friday when its missiles targeted civilian areas in response to Israel's recent wave of attacks. "Iran has crossed red lines by daring to fire missiles at civilian population centres in Israel," he said in a statement.

The Israeli military says the country’s air force is currently striking military targets in Tehran, while it operates to intercept the missiles launched from Iran.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Israel’s defense minister warned Saturday that “Tehran will burn” if Iran continues firing missiles, as the two countries traded blows a day after Israel launched a blistering surprise attack on Iranian nuclear and military sites, killing several top generals.
