Escalation in the Middle East: A Week of Air Attacks Between Israel and Iran

Israel conducted bombing raids targeting nuclear facilities in Iran, while Iranian missiles struck a hospital in Israel, escalating the ongoing week-long air war. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that Tehran's leadership would face severe consequences, following the strike on Beersheba's Soroka medical center.

Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that the military had been ordered to intensify attacks on strategic targets in Tehran, aiming to eliminate threats and destabilize the Iranian government. This widespread offensive aims not only to dismantle Iran's nuclear and missile capabilities but also to undermine the fundamental structure of the regime led by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump has been ambiguous about potential American involvement in the conflict, oscillating between diplomatic solutions and aggressive rhetoric. Amidst these tensions, countries are evacuating their citizens, and regional airspace remains closed due to the raging conflict.
