Iran has vowed to take revenge after Israel carried out "precise strikes on military targets" on its territory.

Tehran said it was entitled and obligated to defend itself against foreign acts of aggression", after the airstrikes, which are said to have killed two soldiers

Israel said the strikes were in response to what it called "the continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against Israel".
