Iran launched multiple deadly waves of missiles and drones toward Israel into Saturday morning following Israel’s unprecedented strikes aimed at destroying Iran’s nuclear program and decapitating its military leadership.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Israel’s defense minister warned Saturday that “Tehran will burn” if Iran continues firing missiles, as the two countries traded blows a day after Israel launched a blistering surprise attack on Iranian nuclear and military sites, killing several top generals.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says his country will strike "every site and every target of the ayatollah regime" in Iran.

The Israeli attack, which comes amid an unprecedented exchange of strikes between Israel and Ansar Allah's Axis of Resistance coalition ally, Iran, was reported by a number of Israeli outlets as well as Saudi Arabia's Al-Hadath network.

Israeli airstrike kills Ali Shamkhani, Iran's former Supreme National Security Council Secretary who rebuilt naval capabilities and was sanctioned by the U.S. after Soleimani's death.

A series of loud explosions are heard in central Israel as the military says it carried out intelligence-based strikes in Tehran.

Iran has partially suspended gas production at the world's biggest gas field after an Israeli strike caused a fire there on Saturday, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported, in what would be the first Israeli strike on Iran's oil and gas sector.

The Israeli military says the Home Front Command, after assessing the situation, is now permitting people to leave protected spaces in all areas across the country but asking them to remain near them.
