People take cover on the ground in Beit Shemesh, Israel, yesterday as sirens sound near the site of a fatal Iranian missile strike on Sunday. In Israel, where several locations were hit by Iranian missiles, 11 people were killed. The Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group also targeted Israel, which responded with strikes on Lebanon, killing more than two dozen people. Rescue services in Israel said several locations have been hit by Iranian missiles, including Jerusalem and a synagogue in Beit Shemesh. Iran’s proxies were a chief concern for US and Israeli officials before they moved ahead with strikes over the weekend.
