‘A long night of attacks, with fears of more to come’


There has been a night of intense fighting between Israel and Iran, with the two sides trading fire and explosions heard in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Tehran.

Ballistic missiles hit parts of Israel, with at least two people killed and dozens injured, according to Israeli emergency services.

Iran launched its attack in retaliation for Israeli strikes which targeted Iran’s nuclear facilities and military bases on Friday, killing senior commanders and six scientists. Iranian state media reported that civilians were also killed.

The BBC’s Hugo Bachega is in Jerusalem.
