Israel has attacked a hospital in Iran and a building of state TV; Iran has struck Israel’s Haifa and Tel Aviv areas.

UNITED NATIONS - Iran's strikes on Israel are self-defense and are \"proportionate defensive operations directed exclusively at military objectives and associated infrastructure,\" Iran's U.N. Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani told the U.

Years of intelligence collection, infiltration of Iran with commandos and weapons, and tracking of targeted commanders and scientists made the wide-ranging attacks possible.
