Israeli military says several sites hit Sunday night by Iranian missiles
Israel’s military said that Iranian missile strikes hit several sites across Israel on Sunday evening, Agence France-Presse reports.
“Homefront Command Search and Rescue teams have been dispatched to several hit sites in Israel, following the latest barrage from Iran,” the military said in a statement shortly after telling the public they could leave protected shelters.
The fire services, meanwhile, said rescuers were heading to building on the country’s Mediterranean coast that sustained a “direct hit”.
According to Israel’s first responder agency, Magen David Adom, seven people were injured in the attacks, including a 72-year old woman.

The Iranian strikes seem to be over for now, with Israel’s Home Front Command saying people can now leave protected areas.
Attention! It is now permitted to leave the protected area. There is also no need to remain close to a protected area,” it wrote on X, “In case alerts are received, follow the instructions of the Home Front Command.”

Rockets have reportedly fallen in Tel Aviv causing damage, but no injuries have been reported so far, the Israeli police have said, according to Reuters.
European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said on Sunday she had told Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu that a negotiated solution over the Iran conflict is the best option long-term, according to a report by Reuters.
“Iran should not have a nuclear weapon, without any question. Of course I think a negotiated solution is, in the long term, the best solution,” she said at a press briefing.
She said she spoke to US president Donald Trump on Saturday and is ready to coordinate among like-minded partners to safeguard market stability, especially energy markets.
Emma Graham-Harrison
The Guardian’s chief Middle East correspondent, Emma Graham-Harrison, is in Tel Aviv, where she heard explosions overhead following an air raid warning people to go to shelters.
The ambulance service is saying they have been called to more than one hit in greater Tel Aviv area now, she says.
After Israel’s surprise attack on Iran on Friday, there have been days of escalating strikes between the two longstanding enemies.
Below is a handy explainer on what has happened since the unprecedented attacks.
In a post in the last few minutes, Israel’s defence forces said that missiles were launched from Iran toward Israeli territory.
The IDF has identified that a short time ago, missiles were launched from Iran toward Israeli territory. Defense systems are operating to intercept the threat. Enter protected spaces upon receiving the alert and remain there until further notice. Leaving the protected space is permitted only after receiving explicit instructions; continue to follow the Home Front Command’s guidelines.”
Israel’s Home Front Command has now instructed residents across the country to “continue staying close to protected spaces”.
Movement in open areas should be minimized, and gatherings should be avoided. Upon receiving an alert, enter the protected space and remain there until a new official announcement is issued.”
As European leader gathering for the G7 summit in the Canadian rockies starting on Monday, it is expected that tensions between Israel and Iran will be high on the agenda.
The Guardian’s diplomatic editor, Patrick Wintour, writes that leaders are expected to spend the first day asking president Trump to justify his confidence that Israel and Iran will make a deal that will mean “peace soon”.
Read the full story below:
As intense fighting between Israel and Iran enters its fourth day, US president Trump has said in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, that there will be peace soon between the two countries.
“Many calls and meetings now taking place,” he wrote, “I do a lot, and never get credit for anything, but that’s OK, the PEOPLE understand. MAKE THE MIDDLE EAST GREAT AGAIN!”
His views were shared as US officials told Reuters that president Trump had vetoed an Israeli plan in recent days to kill Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
They said the Israelis reported that they had an opportunity to kill the top Iranian leader, but Trump had waved them off of the plan.
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baqaei, has challenged Israel’s characterisation of its strikes in Tehran, saying that many women and children have been killed in residential areas.
Israeli propaganda: “Surgical strikes, no residential damage.” Reality: In just three recent strikes in Tehran, 73 women and kids killed; 20 children killed in Chamran residential complex, 10 still remain trapped under rubble 48 hours later. Their ‘surgical accuracy’?!
