Israel’s military stated that it launched strikes on military targets in western and central Iran, after warning it would retaliate for the first Iranian attack on Israel since April.
US 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) said multiple waves of missiles fired at northern Israel were “the beginning of a full week of continuous strikes.”
Most missiles targeting Israel appeared to have been intercepted, and Israelis were told to come out from their shelters.
Earlier on Sunday, Israel said it struck Hezbollah targets in southern Beirut, prompting threats of an Iranian response.
Israeli strikes on Beirut raised questions about the limits of US influence over its partner and the narrowing range of options for Washington to end the war.—BBC
