Live updates: Israel vows response to Iran attack as central Beirut hit

Israel Weighs Response to Iran's Largest-Ever Attack Iran's military chief warned of broader strikes if Israel responds to the recent attack, which killed at least nine people in central Beirut and marked the first time Israel has struck the area since 2006. The strike has raised fears of a wider all-out war between the two regional military powerhouses.

The attack, which was the largest ever launched by Iran against Israel, has left people in Tehran on edge. US President Joe Biden has said he does not support a potential Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear sites. Israel's war cabinet is weighing its response, with its UN ambassador, Danny Danon, stating that retaliation "will be soon." Israel has issued evacuation orders for additional villages in southern Lebanon, signaling a broadening of its ground incursion in the country. The conflict has already killed more than 1,000 people in Lebanon and displaced about 1 million residents since it escalated with Hezbollah.
