What does the IDF say?
The IDF later officially confirmed that it had launched an operation in retaliation for the Iranian attack.
"In response to the regime in Iran's months-long, unabated attacks on the State of Israel, the IDF is now conducting precision strikes against military targets in Iran. The regime in Iran and its proxies in the region have been relentlessly attacking Israel since 7 October - on seven fronts - including direct attacks from Iranian soil. Like any other sovereign nation in the world, the State of Israel has the right and duty to respond," the statement said.
"Our defensive and offensive capabilities are fully mobilised. We will do everything necessary to defend the State of Israel and its people," the IDF added.
Two senior Arab officials told NBC News that the initial strike on Tehran probably targeted a barracks or office, as well as a weapons depot.
