Israel launches strikes on Tehran as conflict with Iran escalates

Israel has carried out a series of airstrikes on targets in Tehran, Iran. The attacks are part of a wider military escalation between the two countries, which has also seen Iranian missile strikes on locations in central Israel, including the cities of Dimona and Eilat.

In a related development, Israel has expanded its ground offensive in southern Lebanon, raising questions about a potential annexation. The Israeli military also reported capturing members of Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group, during operations there.
