Israel hits Iran’s nuclear facilities, kills several of the country’s top nuclear scientist along with the head of the revolutionary guard and a number of military leaders - damaging residential areas in Tehran.

Iran retaliated by sending hundreds of armed drones towards Israel.

Israel says it had intelligence showing Iran’s nuclear programme was 'developing beyond the point of return'.

But the IAEA points out striking nuclear facilities is illegal under international law - as well as dangerous.

Is it really possible for Israel to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities and is it risking a nuclear disaster by trying?
