******* on Iran was ‘precise and powerful’

*******’s ******* on Iran was, in the words of ******** Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, “precise and powerful,” as Iranian leaders weighed a possible response.

Netanyahu stated that the ******* “achieved all its objectives,” during a speech at a memorial event on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem for the victims of the ****** massacre on October 7 last year.

Netanyahu said ******* is in an existential struggle against an “Axis of Evil” led by Iran. He asserted that *******’s enemies must pay a “very high price.” Iran, he said, attacked ******* with hundreds of ballistic missiles at the beginning of the month. “This ******* *******.”

******* then responded in the early hours of Saturday, Netanyahu said. The air force targeted numerous sites in Iran. “We severely damaged Iran’s defence capabilities, as well as their ability to manufacture missiles that are directed against us.”

He thanked the ******* States for “their close coordination and support.”

Netanyahu addressed the Iranian people directly: “Our ****** is not against you, but against the tyrannical regime that oppresses you and threatens the entire region.”

Iran discusses retaliation

The Iranian parliament on Sunday convened for a meeting behind closed doors to discuss a response to the ******** *******.

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has called for a considered approach. “How the strength and will of the Iranian people should be made clear to [*******] is for those responsible to decide,” Khamenei said on Sunday at an event in the capital Tehran, according to the state news agency IRNA.

“What should be done is what is in the best interests of this people and country,” the 85-year-old religious leader said.

Many injured after lorry drives into group north of Tel Aviv

A lorry has driven into a group of people waiting at a bus stop north of Tel Aviv, the Magen David Adom ambulance service said on Sunday, with some 40 people injured.

Six people suffered severe injuries, it said. The driver was shot by bystanders, media reports said.

Initially, media reports suggested that the police assumed it was an *******. However, the police stated that the circumstances of the incident are still being investigated.

Shortly after the incident near Tel Aviv, the army announced that a ************ attempted to ram soldiers at a military checkpoint in the West Bank with his car and ******* them with a ******. The driver was shot *****. None of the soldiers were injured.

******** army says it attacked ****** command centre in Gaza

The ******** Air Force attacked a command centre of the ************ militant organization ****** in the Gaza Strip, the military said early on Sunday.

The command centre was located in northern Gaza in a building that previously served as a school, the ******** military said.

The centre was used by ****** terrorists to “plan and carry out ********** operations against the IDF [******* Defense Forces] troops and the State of *******,” the military said on X.

The army said this was another example of what it called the systematic misuse of the civilian infrastructure by the ************ militant organization ******, violating international law.

For the past three weeks, the ******** military has been carrying out operations in the northern Gaza Strip. ************ reports say that hundreds of civilians have been ******* during this time.

The Gaza war was triggered by the unprecedented ********** ******* on southern ******* by ****** and its allies just over a year ago. Members of the militia and other gunmen ******* over 1,200 people and abducted around 250 more into the Gaza Strip.

Since then, ******* has been waging a war in an attempt to ******** ****** both as a military force and political organization.

The number of Palestinians ******* since the beginning of the war has risen to over 42,000, according to the ******-run health authorities in Gaza.

******* targets Hezbollah in overnight strikes on southern Beirut

The ******** army said on Sunday morning that “precise” strikes were carried out on weapons production and maintenance facilities, as well as a Hezbollah weapons depot in the southern Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh.

Throughout the previous day, approximately 70 Hezbollah fighters were “eliminated” and more than 120 positions of the militia were attacked, the army said on Sunday.

Additionally, in southern Lebanon, infrastructure of Hezbollah’s aerial unit was targeted, according to the army.

Hezbollah for the first time issued warnings on Sunday to residents of ******** towns and villages, calling on them to evacuate.

These include the border town Kiryat Shmona and the coastal town of Nahariya, Hezbollah said on Saturday evening.

According to the ******** army, Hezbollah has to date fired around 14,000 rockets at *******. ******* has responded with almost daily massive airstrikes and, since September, with a ground offensive.

The 25 locations named by Hezbollah are all residential. According to international humanitarian law, indiscriminate attacks on civilian targets are prohibited. Civilian targets lose their protected status if they are used for military purposes.

Three people were injured when a rocket fired by Hezbollah struck the northern ******** city of Tamra and were taken to hospital, according to Magen David Adom.

Videos from the predominantly ***** city north-east of Haifa showed buildings and cars on *****. According to the army, ******* was attacked with about 75 projectiles from Lebanon over the course of Sunday morning.

Four more ******** soldiers have been ******* in clashes with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, the army said on Sunday, adding that five additional soldiers were wounded and taken to hospital.
