Iran’s foreign minister says Tehran is ‘determined to defend itself’ after Israel carried out retaliatory strikes on military targets across Iran.
Israel has released video said to show the air force preparing for the attack. More than 100 fighter jets took part in the operation. Israel says its attack was in response to Iran’s ballistic missile barrage earlier this month. Iran says four military personnel were killed in the strikes, but downplayed the impact of the attacks, saying they only caused ‘limited damage’.
The US, Britain and the European Union have called for de-escalation and urged Iran not to attack Israel.
Israel’s intensive military operation has killed hundreds of people in northern Gaza since it began almost three weeks ago. Now, the World Health Organization and the United Nations are warning of a catastrophic humanitarian situation in northern Gaza. The Hamas-run health ministry says almost 43,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since Hamas launched its terror attacks on Israel just over a year ago.
