Iran’s missiles vs Israel's 'Iron Dome'

Details

Description

After Israel launched an unprovoked attack on Iran and its nuclear facilities, Tehran launched retaliatory strikes, sending missiles and drones against Israeli targets.

Over the weekend, the two traded volleys of strikes, with at least 224 people being killed in Iran, according to the country's Health Ministry. Israel reported at least seven killed in Bat Yam, and dozens injured in other areas.

American air defense systems and a Navy destroyer helped Israel shoot down incoming ballistic missiles Friday, U.S. officials said.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke to his Israeli counterpart, Gideon Sa'ar, over the phone on Saturday, saying China firmly opposes Israel's use of force against Iran in violation of international law.

China urged both Israel and Iran to resolve differences through dialogue and seek peaceful coexistence, Wang said, adding that China is willing to play a constructive role in supporting these efforts.
