The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a statement on its latest attacks against Israel, saying that its "powerful and manoeuvrable" Fattah missiles broke through Israel's missile defence shield, "sending a message of Iran's authority" to the rival country.
In the statement, carried by Iranian news agencies, it said the attack "showed we have gained complete control over the skies of the occupied territories and that its residents are completely defenceless" against Iranian attacks.
Meanwhile, US fighter jets have left a base in eastern England as reports grow of plans for the United States to get involved militarily in the conflict between Iran and Israel.
Photos taken by an amateur photographer show F-35 fighter jets departing from Royal Air Force Lakenheath. They were accompanied by an air refuelling tanker plane.
