Israel's attack on Iran was not 'retaliation,' analysts warn
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the attack should not be exaggerated or downplayed

ACTIVISTS have slammed the claim by Israel that its latest attack on Iran was a retaliation for a missile barrage against it earlier this month.

Israel launched an attack against military targets in Ilam, Khuzestan and Tehran provinces of Iran on Saturday, killing four military air defence personnel.

The Israeli military said its aircraft targeted facilities that Iran used to make the missiles fired at Israel as well as surface-to-air missile sites.
