Israel launched an attack on Iranian soil on Friday, in a tit-for-tat battle between the two foes, days after Iran launched an unprecedented strike on Israel with a barrage of drones and missiles, most of which were shot down. The Iranian strike was a response to an Israeli airstrike on the Iranian embassy compound in Damascus on 1 April.
The strikes have brought a long shadow war between the two sides into the open and also come against the backdrop of Iran’s support for the Palestinian militant group Hamas, whose assault on Israel on 7 October triggered the invasion of Gaza.
