The Israeli military has said it launched a fresh series of strikes targeting military targets including missile launchers in western Iran after the United States attacked the country’s nuclear sites, AFP reports.

The air force began “a series of strikes toward military targets in western Iran”, a military statement said, adding it had “struck missile launchers ready to launch toward Israeli territory, soldiers in the Iranian Armed Forces, and swiftly neutralised the launchers that launched missiles toward Israeli territory a short while ago”.
