WorldIsrael and Iran Exchange Strikes on Eighth Day of Fighting as Lebanon Casualties Mount
Israeli forces carried out strikes on military and research facilities in Tehran and other parts of Iran as the Israel-Iran conflict entered its eighth day, targeting sites Israel says are linked to missile production and nuclear research. Iran responded by launching missiles and drones at Israeli military and industrial targets, while Israel continued attacks on Hezbollah positions in Beirut’s southern suburbs, intensifying the regional dimension of the conflict.
Casualties have been reported in Iran and Lebanon, including the death of an Iranian nuclear scientist and over 100 deaths in Lebanon since hostilities began. The United States has assisted Israel with missile interception and announced new sanctions targeting Iran’s missile and drone networks. With fighting expanding across multiple fronts and no ceasefire in sight, international leaders have warned of the risk of a wider regional escalation.
