Live updates: Iran’s retaliatory attack on Israel has begun

What we know

• Iran has launched more than 100 drones toward Israel, military officials said, beginning its retaliatory attack weeks after a suspected Israeli strike on the Iranian consular building in Syria killed two of Tehran’s top commanders.

• The Biden administration expects Iran will also launch dozens of cruise missiles and ballistic missiles targeting Israeli government sites, not civilians or religious sites, a U.S. official said.

• It will be hours before the drones arrive and Israel will aim to intercept them, Israeli military officials said.

• The U.S. and Israel have coordinated on a defense plan, including the USS Carney and other destroyers and assets, officials said.
