Israel has launched strikes on dozens of targets inside Iran, including nuclear sites. This is what we know so far

Israel has launched an attack on Iran aimed at “dozens” of targets, including its nuclear facilities.

Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said the attack, dubbed Rising Lion, would take “many days” and was aimed at “rolling back the Iranian threat to Israel’s very survival”.

Netanyahu said one target was the Natanz nuclear facility, a key site for uranium enrichment.

The Israeli defence minister, Israel Katz, announced a “special situation” in Israel after the country launched the strikes and said Israel expected retaliation.
