Iran launched a large wave of retaliatory missile and drone strikes on Israel into Saturday morning, kiling at least three people and wounding dozens. The barrage of strikes came after a series of blistering Israeli attacks on the heart of Iran’s nuclear programme and its armed forces.

Iran has fired two waves of missiles into Israel overnight. Another set of strikes near Tel Aviv killed a 60-year-old woman, according to the Israeli emergency service Magen David Adom (MDA). A further 20 people have been injured in the same area, as well as 24 people in the Judean Foothills, a spokesperson for the MDA added.

As a longtime enemy attacks an oppressive government, Iranians are cycling through conflicting emotions: hope and hopelessness, celebration and trepidation.
