Israel conducts airstrikes on military sites in Iran as tensions rise
Summary: Israel has launched airstrikes on military targets in Iran, with explosions reported near Tehran. This marks a significant escalation in regional tensions. Previously, Israel's focus was primarily on operations in Gaza.
In Gaza, Israeli strikes on Khan Younis killed 38 people, including 13 children from one family. The Israeli military stated it was targeting Hamas fighters and infrastructure, but local health officials reported high civilian casualties without warning.
Israeli forces also raided Kamal Adwan Hospital, detaining medical staff and patients. The World Health Organization expressed concern over the hospital's dire conditions and loss of communication with its staff. The ongoing conflict has resulted in over 42,000 Palestinian deaths since October 2023.
