Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has condemned Israel’s aggression in Gaza and ongoing attacks on Iran, comparing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler.

Iran said Thursday the main target of a missile attack in which a hospital in southern Israel was hit was an Israeli military and intelligence base, not the health facility.

A hospital in southern Israel and two towns near Tel Aviv were struck after a barrage of Iranian missiles on Thursday morning, with rescuers reporting at least 47 people injured in the latest attacks.

Iran escalated its conflict with Israel by launching missiles at the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, striking a key part of the country's financial sector.

Iran has a legitimate right to respond to Israel’s attacks, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said, accusing West Jerusalem of engaging in “banditry and state terrorism.” 

Israel claims to have killed Major General Ali Shadmani, a top Iranian commander and close aide to Ayatollah Khamenei, in an airstrike on Tehran's military command center.

Pakistan will temporarily host 20,000 Iranian pilgrims stranded in Saudi Arabia due to regional airspace closures amid the escalating Iran-Israel conflict. Islamabad has assured all necessary arrangements to accommodate the pilgrims during their stay in Karachi.

Iranian lawmakers publicly praised Pakistan for its support amid rising tensions with Israel, chanting "Thank you, thank you Pakistan" during a parliamentary session.

Tehran will face the America’s “full strength and might” if it targets the country’s assets, the president has warned

Israel's massive strikes on Iran, which it calls an existential threat, have hit nuclear and military facilities, killed top commanders and dozens of civilians, and sought to destroy the country's defence capabilities.

Iran called the Israeli air assault "a declaration of war" and fired dozens of missiles at Israel later Friday and Saturday.

Despite the Israeli strikes, the US president has urged Tehran to comply with Washington’s demands over its nuclear program “before it is too late”
