Israeli emergency services reported damage to multiple residences and vehicles, including a building in Bnei Brak where at least 20 people were injured, some critically.

The strikes coincided with retaliatory missile attacks from Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.

The missile strikes marked a dramatic escalation five weeks into the conflict.

Iran threatened to widen the confrontation if Tel Aviv and Washington sought to change the regime.
