Israel Retaliates After Deadly Attack, Tensions Escalate in the Middle East
Israel launches new military strikes as Iran responds to the recent killing of Supreme Leader Khamenei, leading to a dangerous escalation of tensions in the region.
Israel has launched a series of new military strikes against targets in Iran and Syria in response to recent Iranian missile and drone attacks on Israeli cities. The latest flare-up in hostilities comes after the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, which Tehran has vowed to avenge.
The exchanges of fire have raised concerns of a broader regional conflict, with both sides mobilizing additional forces and warning of further retaliation. Sirens blared in Tel Aviv on Sunday as residents sought shelter from the latest barrage of Iranian missiles and drones targeting Israel's economic and political capital.
