Israel unleashed a series of predawn airstrikes against military sites in Iran on Saturday, saying it targeted facilities used to make the missiles fired at Israel. The attack risks pushing the archenemies closer to all-out war at a time of spiraling violence across the Middle East, where militant groups backed by Iran—including Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon—are already at war with Israel, per the AP. Iran’s military said early Saturday that Israeli strikes on the country targeted military bases in Ilam, Khuzestan, and Tehran provinces, causing «limited damage.» Army officials said two soldiers were killed in the strikes. The statement from Iran’s armed forces was read aloud on state TV, which showed no images of the damage described.
