Missiles, Drones and Airstrikes Pound Middle East Into 12th Day of War

Sirens sounded around the Middle East late on Tuesday night and into early Wednesday morning as Israel and the United States kept up their attacks on Iran, while Iranian forces retaliated, targeting Israel and American allies in the region. Tasnim, a news agency affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, said Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps was beginning the 35th wave of its operation, attacking American military bases in the Middle East and locations in central Israel.

The Israeli military said it had begun an additional wave of strikes on Iranian government targets in Tehran and, about 20 minutes later, announced that it had identified missiles coming from Iran and had sent directives for the public to shelter in protected spaces.

The military repeatedly told residents they were free to leave shelters, only to send some people back an hour later. In Beirut, residents reported explosions from Israeli airstrikes targeting Dahiya, a densely populated area on the southern outskirts of the city known as a Hezbollah stronghold.
