Israel faced retaliation from Iran after launching missiles against Tehran's leadership and energy infrastructure as part of "Operation Rising Lion" this weekend. Iran's military responded with a wave of missile strikes against Israel,

The path to diplomacy appeared to narrow after officials called off talks that had been set for Sunday between Tehran and Washington on the future of Iran’s nuclear program. Israel said the goal of the powerful strikes it unleashed on Friday was disabling Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.

Iran has fired two waves of missiles into Israel overnight. Another set of strikes near Tel Aviv killed a 60-year-old woman, according to the Israeli emergency service Magen David Adom (MDA). A further 20 people have been injured in the same area, as well as 24 people in the Judean Foothills, a spokesperson for the MDA added.
