Iran launched over 700 drones at Israel since start of true promise 3: Reports

Tehran, June 17 (UNI) Iran has conducted over 700 retaliatory drone attacks against Israel since the beginning of Operation True Promise 3, the Fars news agency reported on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, Iran started a new missile attack on Israel, the news agency reported.
In the early hours on Friday, Israel launched an operation against Iran, accusing it of running a secret military nuclear program that allegedly approached the point of no return. Among the targets of aerial bombing and sabotage raids were nuclear facilities, senior military officials, nuclear scientists, air bases, air defences, and surface-to-surface missiles.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called the attack a crime and threatened Israel with a "bitter and terrible fate." Iran retaliated by launching Operation True Promise 3 on Friday evening that hit military targets inside Israel.
Israel said that more than 20 people were killed and over 600 injured by Iranian strikes. Iran said more than 220 died and more than 1,200 were injured.
