Israel launched its long-awaited retaliatory strikes on Iran early Saturday local time, the Israeli military said. Israel had vowed payback for Iran’s Oct. 1 attack, during which the Islamic republic launched about 180 ballistic missiles at Israel. 

In a statement, Israel Defense Forces said that “in response to months of continuous attacks” from Iran, it conducted “precise strikes on military targets in Iran.”

A source told CBS News the Israeli attack was limited to military targets, and not nuclear or oil installations.

The U.S. was given an advanced warning of the attacks, the source said. 

This is a developing story and will be updated.
