Iran has launched retaliatory ballistic missile strikes on Israel, killing at least three and injuring 91, Anadolu Agency reported late Friday.
The missile barrage was in response to an unprecedented Israeli attack earlier the same day targeting Iranian nuclear and military facilities.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed launching missiles at multiple locations including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, as retaliation for the killing of senior Iranian generals and nuclear scientists.
Israeli strikes, which began before dawn on Friday, hit sites in Tehran, Natanz, Isfahan, and Shiraz, killing at least 78—including top military commanders and key nuclear experts—and injuring over 320.
