Explosions over Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem as Iran launches new wave of attacks

Video Description

Iran launched a fresh wave of attacks against Israel in the early hours of Monday morning, with strikes reportedly hitting energy infrastructure in Haifa and triggering fires, while air defence systems engaged incoming missiles over Tel Aviv. Explosions were also reported over Jerusalem, according to Reuters. The attacks follow reports that US President Donald Trump blocked an Israeli plan to assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, citing anonymous American officials quoted by Reuters and the Associated Press. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has allegedly urged the US to join military action against Iran, while The Wall Street Journal reports that Israeli officials still consider Khamenei a "legitimate target". Netanyahu refused to comment on these claims when pressed on Sunday. For coverage and analysis, Al Jazeera is joined by correspondents Patty Culhane in Washington, DC, and Bernard Smith in Amman, alongside commentators Alon Pinkas, a former Israeli diplomat and columnist for The Independent, and Gideon Levy, a Haaretz columnist, both speaking from Tel Aviv. The developments mark a perilous escalation in the ongoing regional conflict.
