Iran and Israel exchange strikes in first attacks since April ceasefire

A fresh wave of attacks between Iran and Israel erupted on Sunday (Jun 7) after Tehran fired missiles at an Israeli air base in retaliation for an Israeli strike on Beirut's southern suburbs.

Israel said it responded with strikes on military targets in western and central Iran, despite reports that US President Donald Trump had urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from further attacks.

The exchange marked the first direct attacks between Iran and Israel since a ceasefire took effect in April, raising concerns about the future of US-mediated efforts to end the conflict. https://cna.asia/4vxVI59
