CloseIran's missile and drone attack on Israel raises the risk of an escalation in the region, the BBC's Hugo Bachega in Jerusalem has said.

The Israeli military said that more than 300 missiles and drones were intercepted, in what Iran described as an attack aimed at "specific targets".

The strike was an anticipated retaliation for an Israeli attack on its consulate in Syria, which killed a top Iranian military commander and several others earlier this month.
