Iran has carried out direct strikes on Israel for the first time. It鈥檚 believed to be a retaliation for a deadly strike on its consulate in the Syrian capital Damascus.

Previously, Israel and Iran had been engaged in a years-long shadow war - attacking each other's assets without admitting responsibility.
