A British national has been injured in Israel during missile attacks by Iran, the foreign secretary has said, telling the Commons that 63 others have been evacuated from Israel to Cyprus by the RAF.

It comes after the US attacked three nuclear sites in Iran overnight on Saturday and Tehran then launched a ballistic missile barrage against Israel.
