Israel hits back at Iran with barrage of missiles and drones: report

Israel launched its expected retaliatory strike against Iran on Friday morning, according to a report.

Israeli missiles hit at least one site in Iran, and several explosions were heard across the country, ABC News reported, citing US officials.

The attack follows Iran raining down more than 300 drones and missiles toward the Jewish nation last Saturday — though nearly all were intercepted by Israel and its allies.

The Post has reached out to the Pentagon and White House for comment.
