Israel struck military sites in Iran on Saturday, saying it was retaliating against Tehran's missile attack on Israel on 1 October, the latest exchange in the escalating conflict between the Middle East rivals. The risk of a wider conflagration between heavily armed Israel and Iran has convulsed a region already on fire with warfare in Gaza and Lebanon, but it was not clear whether the overnight strikes would trigger further escalation.
In the wake of Israeli air strikes on Iran, questions are mounting over how Iran may respond to the attacks.
