TEL AVIV/DUBAI/WASHINGTON –
Iran and Israel targeted each other with airstrikes early on Saturday after Israel launched its biggest-ever offensive against its longtime foe in a bid to prevent it from developing a nuclear weapon.
Air raid sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, the country’s two largest cities before dawn, sending residents rushing into shelters. The military said its air defense systems were operating, seeking to intercept Iranian missiles.
The Israeli military said rescue teams were operating at a number of locations across the country where fallen projectiles were reported, without commenting on casualties.
