Israel has finally retaliated for Iran's missile strikes earlier this month, carrying out a series of relatively restrained air attacks overnight. The Israeli army struck Iranian military sites, including air defence batteries and missile manufacturing facilities, killing two Iranian soldiers. Tehran denies there's been any serious damage, but says it has a right to defend itself and may strike back - although the US and UK have urged de-escalation.
