At the heart of the current crisis lies Israel’s fear that Iran is nearing the development of a nuclear weapon — a red line it has long vowed to prevent. Israel’s latest airstrikes reportedly targeted uranium enrichment facilities and military sites suspected of aiding Iran’s nuclear programme.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Israel’s defense minister warned Saturday that “Tehran will burn” if Iran continues firing missiles, as the two countries traded blows a day after Israel launched a blistering surprise attack on Iranian nuclear and military sites, killing several top generals.

Member of Hamas’s political bureau, Izzat al-Risheq, has warned that whoever attacks amid the ongoing war between Israel and Iran will pay the price. Al-Risheq gave the warning while insisting that Iran’s latest retaliatory attack against Israel was a clear message.

The house, located in southern Sanaa, was cordoned off by heavy Houthi security forces as ambulances rushed to the scene, Xinhua news agency reported on Saturday evening.

Israel's attack on Iran raises questions like whether the US will get involved, how Iran will respond, and if a wider conflict may be triggered.

Israel and Iran have opened a new chapter in their long history of conflict. Israel launched a major attack with strikes early Friday that set off explosions in the Iranian capital of Tehran.

The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah was long considered Iran’s first line of defense in case of a war with Israel.

The Israeli military on Sunday released video it said showed the underground rooms where they found the body of Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar who is believed to have died in tunnels under a Gaza hospital last month.

For years, Israel and Iran engaged in a shadow war, a series of mostly quiet, often deniable attacks, with Iran frequently operating through allied proxy groups.
