Lapid made a speech last month to Israel’s parliament, which is called the Knesset, that marked 600 days since the start of the war in Gaza. Lapid slammed Netanyahu for bringing a conflict upon Israel that didn’t exist during his own brief time in office.

Khamenei has condemned the attacks and promised to retaliate, saying Israel had "sealed for itself a bitter and painful destiny."

EXCLUSIVE: Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said that it is in America's interest to support Israel as it seeks to eliminate Iran's nuclear program.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on the mission of his lifetime. For years, the veteran leader has made the destruction of Iran’s nuclear program his top priority.

As the attacks escalate, with fatalities and injuries reported on both sides, Israel issued the stark warning to Iran.

Israel and Iran intensified their deadly air strikes Monday on the fifth day after Israel launched its first attack to dismantle Iran's nuclear capability.

Iran fired a new wave of missile attacks on Israel early on Monday, triggering air raid sirens across the country as emergency services reported at least five killed and dozens more wounded in the fourth day of a conflict between the regional foes that shows no sign of slowing.

Israel appeared to be expanding its air campaign on Tehran five days after its surprise attack on Iran’s military and nuclear program, as U.S. President Donald Trump posted an ominous message warning residents of the capital to evacuate.

Since the conflict began on Friday, Iran has launched around 370 ballistic missiles at Israel, according to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF). But what kinds of projectiles are being used—and how robust is Israel’s air defence system against potential waves of retaliatory attacks from Tehran?

When Israel launched its series of strikes against Iran last week, it also issued a number of dire warnings about the country’s nuclear program, suggesting Iran was fast approaching a point of no return in its quest to obtain nuclear weapons and that the strikes were necessary to preempt that outcome.
