IRAN HAS LAUNCHED launched drones at Israel directly from its territory, the Israeli army has said, marking a major escalation of the long-running covert war between the regional foes.

Hagari said it would take several hours for the aircraft to arrive.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier today that Israel was prepared for a “direct attack from Iran” following its threats of retaliation for a deadly air strike on its Damascus consulate.
