Here are the latest events in the Middle East war on Saturday:
– Sirens in Jerusalem –
Explosions were heard and air raid sirens sounded in Jerusalem on Saturday, AFP journalists said, as Israel and America’s war with Iran entered a second week.
At least three explosions were heard, while over the past 24 hours at least six air raid alerts have been issued across Israel.
– New strikes on Tehran –
Israel began a new wave of air strikes on the Iranian cities of Tehran and Isfahan Saturday after an overnight blitz that involved 80 fighter jets.
Israel’s military earlier said jets hit an academy of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards which “was being used as an emergency asset”.
Israeli and US attacks on the central province of Isfahan killed at least eight people on Saturday, a provincial official said.
– Hezbollah sites hit –
Israel’s military said Saturday it had struck Hezbollah targets in Lebanon’s south and east, killing commanders from the Lebanese armed group, and hitting military sites including command centres.
The Israeli military said it had “completed an additional wave of strikes targeting rocket launchers, weapons storage facilities, and additional military sites belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organisation in various areas in southern Lebanon and in the Beqaa valley”.
