Israel and Iran have engaged in a series of attacks against each other, marking the beginning of a full-blown conflict. Neither country appears willing to back down. Early Friday morning, 13 June, the Israeli military launched airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites, causing widespread disruption. In response, Iran fired over 100 drones at Israel, all of which were shot down by the Israeli Air Force. Later that night, Israel conducted further airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran retaliated with ballistic missiles, leading to intense fighting late into the night. Israel named its military operation ‘Operation Rising Lion’, while Iran called its counter-offensive ‘True Promise Three’.
