Overview

  • Defense Minister Israel Katz accused Iran of breaching the truce by launching missiles into Israel and ordered continued strikes on Tehran.
  • Israel’s Iron Dome and other air defenses shot down most incoming projectiles, though at least four civilians were killed in Beersheba during the latest barrage.
  • The United States entered combat operations with 30,000-pound bunker-busting bombs targeting fortified Iranian nuclear installations.
  • Canadian and Australian embassies have evacuated hundreds of their nationals from Tel Aviv, dispatching groups by bus to Jordan and by air to Dubai.
  • Earlier Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites killed hundreds of civilians and damaged enrichment facilities, underscoring the conflict’s human toll.
