The Israel Defense Forces continued its intense airstrike and ground campaigns in Gaza -- particularly in the north of the strip -- and in Lebanon, with Israeli attacks on targets nationwide including in the capital Beirut.

Israel’s strikes against “multiple military targets” across Iran tonight were “extensive,” “targeted” and “precise,” according to a U.S. senior administration official, adding that it was “designed to be effective” to deter future attacks from Iran and degrade their capabilities.
