Israeli air defenses sounded sirens over Jerusalem and intercepted barrages as explosions were heard in Tel Aviv.

Witnesses reported explosions in Tehran amid a new wave of Israeli airstrikes, signaling a rapid regional tit-for-tat escalation.

Bahrain authorities said an Iranian strike hit a residential apartment building in Manama.

The incident underscores the human toll of the attacks on Gulf civilians.

Multiple states reported counter-measures and intercepted incoming drones and missiles.

Gen. Dan Caine said U.S. forces had already struck more than 5,000 targets.

Gen. Dan Caine said the stated aims were degrading Iran’s missile and drone capabilities; striking its navy to secure movement through the Strait of Hormuz; and hitting deeper military and industrial sites.

Tehran's leadership responded with defiant rhetoric: Parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf was quoted saying Iran was "definitely not looking for a ceasefire".
