Iran and Israel say a new wave of Iranian missile attacks has begun. Explosions heard over Jerusalem
- On Friday and Saturday, Israel launched extensive airstrikes on Iran's nuclear and military sites, with retaliatory missile barrages hitting Israeli cities including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
- The strikes followed months of planning amid heightened tensions after the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, and came after Iran was censured by the UN for nuclear noncompliance.
- Key Iranian sites hit included the Natanz enrichment facility, confirmed significantly damaged by Israeli General Effie Defrin and UN nuclear chief Rafael Grossi, alongside the South Pars gas field crucial to Iran's economy.
- Iran’s UN ambassador reported that Israeli strikes resulted in 78 deaths and over 320 injuries, while Israel stated that missile attacks breached its defense systems, causing injuries to about 34 people as explosions were heard in areas including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
- The escalating conflict has raised widespread international alarm over a possible all-out war, with Israel vowing to continue the campaign to neutralize what it calls an imminent Iranian nuclear threat.
