Israel attacks Iran military targets, Tehran says damage 'limited'
(Reuters) - Israel struck military sites in Iran early on Saturday, but its retaliation for an Iranian attack this month did not appear aimed at the country's most sensitive oil and nuclear targets after urgent calls from allies and neighbours for restraint.
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.
Israel's military said scores of jets had completed three waves of strikes before dawn against missile factories and other sites, and warned its heavily armed arch-foe not to hit back.
Iran said its air defences had successfully countered the attack but two soldiers were killed and some locations suffered "limited damage". A semi-official Iranian news agency vowed a "proportional reaction" to the Israeli strikes.
Two regional officials briefed by Tehran told Reuters that several high-level meetings were held in Tehran to determine the scope of Iran’s response.
One official stated that the damage was “very minimal” and that “several Revolutionary Guard bases inside Tehran and near the capital were targeted as well".Videos carried by Iranian media showed air defences continuously firing at apparently incoming projectiles in central Tehran, without saying which sites were coming under attack.
