The conflict between Israel and Iran continues to escalate, with both countries exchanging strikes and warnings.
A hospital in Beersheba, Israel, was directly hit after Iran fired a wave of missiles, while Israel warned people to evacuate areas near the Arak heavy water reactor in Iran, citing plans to target military infrastructure.
The strikes come as US President Donald Trump has approved plans to attack Iran, but has not made a final decision on whether to strike the country.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei warned Trump of “irreparable harm” if the US intervenes in the conflict. Sirens sounded in Israel overnight, prompting people to take cover, but they have since been allowed to leave their shelters.
The conflict could lead to a wider regional war, with potential involvement from other countries and proxy groups.
The strikes have already caused significant damage to infrastructure and posed a threat to civilians.
The international community is closely watching the situation, with calls for restraint and diplomacy to prevent further escalation.
