JERUSALEM, March 21, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The Israeli military said it launched strikes on "regime targets" in Tehran early Saturday, after reporting several rounds of Iranian missile fire at Israel. Iran has retaliated with missile and drone attacks at Israel, US interests in the Gulf and other targets in the region. A brief Israeli military statement on Saturday said forces were "striking Iranian terror regime targets in Tehran" following an earlier air raid targeting Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon's capital Beirut. The military earlier said it had "identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the State of Israel" at least three times within six hours. In an earlier statement, the Israeli military said recent strikes on Tehran had targeted ballistic missile sites.
