Israeli military launches retaliatory strikes on Iran after attacks on northern Israel

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/clyengg72pgt

Israel said it struck several military targets in Iran, retaliating against missile attacks by Tehran despite President Donald Trump’s call for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from escalation.

The Israel Defense Forces said it struck targets in western and central Iran, with Iranian state media reporting multiple explosions in Tehran. The IDF said earlier it had identified and intercepted missiles fired from Iran, adding that emergency services reported no casualties.

Mohsen Rezaee, a military adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, told the semi-official Iranian Students’ News Agency that the missile launch toward Israel was a “warning to cease their hostile actions” in Lebanon.

The latest strikes follow an escalation between Israel and Hezbollah. Early Sunday, the Lebanese militia attacked targets in northern areas of the Jewish state, whose army responded with a strike in Beirut’s southern suburbs killing two and injuring 11. At the same time, the US and Iran appear to be making little progress toward an interim deal to end the war.

President Donald Trump earlier urged his Israeli counterpart not to retaliate for the Iranian strikes, according to several outlets. Fox News earlier reported that Trump also told Iran "that's enough"

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says multiple waves of missiles fired at northern Israel are "the beginning of a full week of continuous strikes"

Most missiles targeting Israel appear to have been intercepted, and Israelis have now been told they can leave shelters

Earlier on Sunday, Israel said it struck Hezbollah targets in southern Beirut, prompting threats of an Iranian response
