Sirens sound in Tel Aviv as Iran launches new missile barrage

  • Hezbollah meanwhile says it was involved in “direct clashes” with Israeli forces in the southern Lebanese town of Khiam late on Saturday

Israel’s military said early Sunday that Iran launched another round of missiles toward Israel.
Sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and loud booms were heard.
Lebanese militant group Hezbollah meanwhile said it was involved in “direct clashes” with Israeli forces in the southern Lebanese town of Khiam late on Saturday, involving “light and medium weapons as well as rocket-propelled projectiles.”
Lebanon is working to form a delegation to negotiate with Israel in a bid to stop the war with Iran-backed Hezbollah, an official said, though Israel has not committed to the initiative.
“Negotiations are on the table and preparations are underway to form a delegation, but… neither the timing nor the location has been determined, with Paris and Cyprus being considered,” the official said.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said his country feared Israel was “moving toward a new genocide under the pretext of fighting Hezbollah” in its ongoing assault on Lebanon.
Lebanon’s health ministry said Israeli strikes had killed 826 people, including 65 women and 106 children, since the start of the latest war with Hezbollah, adding that 2,009 others had been wounded.
