The two powers have been exchanging barrages since Israel attacked Iran and killed many of the country’s top military leaders and scientists.

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) says it has destroyed "dozens" of radars and surface-to-air missile launchers as part of the attacks on Iran's air defence systems in the west of the country. Calling it a "large-scale strike", the IAF says this forms part of ongoing operations to damage Iran's air defence systems and those of its proxies.

Israel struck key Iranian nuclear sites to curb bomb development amid rapid uranium enrichment and rising tensions.
