Israel Strikes Iran

 Israel responded with military attacks on Iran.  Now what?  It sounds like they avoided the oil and nuclear targets.  And now Iran is calling the strike “weak”.  Israel warned Iran not to respond or else.

DUBAI/JERUSALEM/CAIRO, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Israel struck military sites in Iran early on Saturday, but its retaliation for an Iranian attack this month did not appear aimed at the country's most sensitive oil and nuclear targets after urgent calls from allies and neighbours for restraint.

The risk of a wider conflagration between heavily armed Israel and Iran has convulsed a region already on fire with warfare in Gaza and Lebanon, but it was not clear whether the overnight strikes would trigger further escalation.
Israel's military said scores of jets had completed three waves of strikes before dawn against missile factories and other sites, and warned its heavily armed arch-foe not to hit back.
Iran said its air defences had successfully countered the attack but two soldiers were killed and some locations suffered "limited damage". A semi-official Iranian news agency vowed a "proportional reaction" to the Israeli strikes.
