Israeli army reports rocket attack from Gaza

A military statement says alerts were activated at 10:15am (07:15 GMT) around the fence with Gaza.

Two rockets were detected that fell in an open area with no reported casualties, it said. The rocket fire comes after Israel and Iran exchanged heavy strikes overnight.

Iran-allied Hamas has repeatedly thanked Tehran for its military and financial support to the group in its fight against Israel.


Dozens killed in Israeli attack on residential complex in Tehran: Report

About 60 people, including 20 children, have been killed in an Israeli attack on a housing complex in the Iranian capital, according to Iranian state TV.

Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations said on Friday that 78 people had been killed and 320 wounded in the first wave of strikes by Israel.

Tehran called on its citizens to unite in defense of the country as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged them to rise up against their government.



Still a ‘small window’ for negotiations to prevent all-out war

Muhanad Seloom from the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies says Iran sent messages to European nations saying it will launch a “measured” response against Israel, dismissing as rhetoric Iranian news reports suggesting it will also target infrastructure of Israeli allies in the Middle East.

“What we’re looking at is a dynamic and developing situation between Israel and Iran. But still to me it looks like there’s a small window to bring Iran back to negotiations,” he said.

“What we saw last night was an attack by Iran, but it was below the threshold of an open war. The Iranians have a lot of internal pressure so they had to respond, but they did it in a way that would not bring in the United States and European states,” Seloom told Al Jazeera.

“It doesn’t make sense for Iran now, with no good reason, to attack these locations – US installations for even embassies of European states.”

He said “even though Iran has been bruised severely”, its nuclear sites appear not to be completely destroyed so there is still room for negotiations with the United States on its nuclear programme.
