(VOVWORLD) - Iran and Israel targeted each other with airstrikes early on Saturday after Israel launched its biggest-ever offensive against Iran in a bid to prevent it from developing a nuclear weapon.

Dozens of missiles have been launched from Iran, the Israeli military said, while several explosions were heard in the Iranian capital Tehran, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency.
Iran's Fars news agency said Tehran launched a third wave of airstrikes on Saturday after two salvos on Friday night. Those were in response to Israel's attacks on Iran early on Friday against commanders, nuclear scientists, military targets and nuclear sites.
The Israeli strikes on Iran throughout the day and the Iranian retaliation raised fears of a broader regional conflagration.
