Here’s what to know about Israel and Iran conflict:
Central Tel Aviv was impacted by missiles fired from Iran on Friday, after Israel said it had detected dozens of missiles launched from Iran and was working to intercept them. Israeli paramedics said they were treating five injured people and Israeli officials urged people to take shelter. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Iran had “crossed a red line” by firing missiles at populated civilian areas in Israel.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei earlier said Israel “should expect severe punishment” for Israel's wide-ranging attack on the country’s nuclear program and military leadership. In waves of strikes that began early Friday local time and continued through the day, Israel killed the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and struck dozens of targets, pushing the region into a new conflict with uncertain consequences.
President Trump told The Wall Street Journal on Friday that he was aware of Israel’s plans to attack Iran: "Heads-up? It wasn’t a heads-up. It was, we know what's going on." Earlier, he urged Iran’s leadership to make a deal “before there is nothing left.”
