Palestinians in the West Bank celebrated the fallen rocket shell believed to have been fired by Iran, while the Israeli ambassador to the U.N. warned that Israel’s response to the attack will be painful. The U.S. Embassy in Israel lifted its shelter-in-place order as the threat of missile barrages diminished. Hezbollah claimed to have forced Israeli soldiers to retreat from a Lebanese town, marking the first known ground clashes between the two sides. Israel sent more ground troops into Lebanon to target Hezbollah, with Iran warning that any Israeli retaliation would face an even tougher response.
Iran claimed that its missile strikes on Israel were a legitimate defensive right, with no intention of continuing them. The foreign minister warned against further interference and said any new move by Israel or its supporters would face a tougher response. Iran launched nearly 200 missiles at Israeli military targets, resulting in intercepted missiles and no reported casualties. In a separate incident, a terrorist attack in Tel Aviv resulted in six deaths according to Israeli police. The ongoing conflict between Iran, Israel, and Hezbollah has led to escalating tensions and military actions, with further retaliation and responses expected from all sides.
