Israel said they had about three gatherings of Iranian officials simultaneously.
Israel said 200 jets bombed 500 targets.
They did it during the daylight because they thought that would be a surprise.
Israel said it killed the head of Iran's IRGC, the minister of defense, and a bunch of other top military officials.
And it seems like the US is confirming that they agreed that about five to 10 top Iranian leaders are now dead.
The US said they hit 900 targets in the first 12 hours.
They were focused on military sites, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps command and control facilities.
air defense targets, missiles, drone sites, military airfields.
Iranian state TV says that one airstrike hit a girls elementary school and killed 85 people.

So Iran so far has responded by firing missiles and drones at Israel.
Sounds like they fired off about 300 of them.
They fired at U.S.
bases.
They fired at civilian targets as well in UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
Most of these Iranian missiles and drones seem to have been taken out by air defense systems.
But there are some pretty scary videos out there on social media of either Iranian ballistic missiles or Iranian drones striking targets, including civilian targets like a high rise building in Bahrain or a hotel in Dubai.
