Israel makes new raids on Iran after intercepting missile

JERUSALEM - Israel conducted a new wave of airstrikes on Iran early Monday, shortly after intercepting a missile fired from Iran, said the Israeli military.

The Israeli Air Force targeted what it described as "military infrastructure sites" in Iran's Kermanshah province, striking surface-to-surface missile launch and storage facilities, the military said in a statement. More than 15 warplanes participated in the operation.

The strikes came shortly after Iran fired a missile at Israel before dawn and triggered air raid sirens across much of the country. The Israeli military said the missile was shot down, causing no casualties or damage.

The Iranian attack followed US President Donald Trump's suggestion of a possible regime change in Iran, as US bombers and submarines carried out heavy strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
