Israel Launches Retaliatory Attack On Iran: Reports.

Israel has launched an attack in Iran, U.S. media reported quoting government officials, in what appears to be retaliatory strikes for unprecedented an air attack Tehran launched last weekend on its sworn enemy.
Iranian state media said explosions were heard early on April 19 near the central city of Isfahan. Video on CNN and social media showed several large explosions that were said to be near Isfahan. Tehran launched more than 300 drones and missiles at Israel in the early morning hours of April 14, almost all of which were shot down by Israeli defense systems, along with intercepts by forces from the United States, France, Britain, and Jordan. An attack by Tehran had been widely anticipated in Israel following a suspected Israeli air strike on the Iranian embassy compound in Damascus, Syria, early last month that killed two brigadier generals. Since then, diplomats and politicians around the world, fearing another major escalation of fighting in the Middle East, had urged restraint as they await Israel's response. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on April 17 that Israel will decide how and whether it will respond to the unprecedented attack on its soil. Israel and Iran have been bitter enemies for decades, but this was the first direct attack by one on the other's soil instead of through proxy forces or by targeting each other's assets operating in third countries.
