Iran launched retaliatory missile and drone strikes on Israel into Saturday morning, killing at least three people and wounding dozens, after a series of blistering Israeli attacks on the heart of Iran’s nuclear program and its armed forces. Israel said that "Tehran will burn" if Iran were to fire more missiles.

According to Isreali defence minister Israel Katz, Iran's leader Ayatollah Ali Khemnei "is turning the citizens of Iran into hostages and bringing about a reality in which they -- especially the residents of Tehran -- will pay a heavy price because of the criminal harm to Israeli civilians," Katz was quoted as saying in a statement.
