Tensions between Israel and Iran reached new and dangerous heights as both nations launched fresh attacks overnight into Sunday, intensifying fears of a wider regional conflict in West Asia.
Israel’s latest barrage, under the banner of Operation Rising Lion, included a high-impact airstrike on the world’s largest gas field, a major economic lifeline for Iran. The assault marked a massive expansion of Israel’s military offensive, which has increasingly targeted Iranian strategic assets.
One of the deadliest strikes occurred in Tehran, where an Israeli missile hit a residential high-rise, killing at least 60 people, including 29 children, according to Iranian authorities. In a separate earlier strike near a home in northern Israel, three women were reported dead and ten others injured.
In response, Tehran unleashed a fresh barrage of missiles on Israel. Iranian missiles entered Israel’s skies in an attack that Israeli emergency officials said killed four people in an apartment building in the Galilee region.
