Today, we look at Iran launching a missile attack at Israel.

The Israeli military says around 180 missiles were fired, most of which were intercepted. No injuries have been reported so far.

The strike follows Israel’s invasion of Lebanon, with what it calls a "limited, localised and targeted" ground operation against Hezbollah.
