Iran has launched dozens of drones towards Israel according to Israeli media reports on Saturday evening, citing US sources.

There was initially no official confirmation of this information.

Israeli television reported that the drones could be travelling for several hours.

An attack has been widely feared in Israel and the region since the suspected Israeli airstrike on Iran's embassy compound in the Syrian capital Damascus in early April, killing two brigadier generals. The state leadership in Tehran has been threatening to retaliate.
