Video from the Negev in southern Israel captured the moment a projectile following an Iranian missile attack.

Significant damage in Israel as Iran, Hezbollah launch joint attack Rockets struck northern Israel near the Lebanese border, with damage reported in the Upper Galilee region by Al Jazeera.  Authorities also reported damage in central and southern parts of the country, including fires in Lod and damage to a Bedouin village in the Negev Desert. Damage was also reported in Shoham near Ben Gurion Airport, where about 30 residents were evacuated after a building caught fire, while a school was damaged in Rishon LeZion south of Tel Aviv. Reports said cluster munitions launched from Iran scattered submunitions across several areas, causing additional damage as air defences failed to intercept them.

US-Israeli strikes killed Iran's leader but have not toppled the government, which now, from its perch on the Strait of Hormuz, has put the entire world economy on the war's frontlines. The initial US victory in killing supreme leader Ali Khamenei has given way to a conflict that Washington cannot completely control, sharply limiting President Donald Trump's options.

Iran's leaders are seeking to show the staying power of their near half-century old clerical-based system and prove that it can withstand the killing of its longtime ruler and war with United States and Israel, analysts said. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, supreme leader since the death of revolutionary founder Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989, was killed along with several family members and top security figures in air strikes at the start of the US-Israeli attacks late last month.
