Israel launches retaliatory airstrikes on Iran

Foreign Affairs Correspondent

The conflict across the Middle East escalated further overnight when Israeli jets launched dozens of air strikes against several locations in Iran.

Iran says the targets were military bases in Tehran and the south west regions of Ilam and Khuzestan.

Missile defence systems were targeted close to the capital’s main airport, as well as surrounding military facilities.

And today in Lebanon, Israel has continued to hit Beirut, along with areas in the south.

In retaliation, Hezbollah says it launched a drone attack on an airbase south of Tel-Aviv. And Israel intercepted a barrage of missiles north of Haifa, acoss Upper and Western Galilee.

And more violence too in Gaza City, where several people have been killed in an Israeli strike.
