Israel launched strikes on Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, after the militant group Hezbollah fired missiles across the border early on Monday. He was the firebrand former Iranian president, who gained international notoriety by calling for Israel’s erasure and denying the Holocaust. There were nine people killed in the city of Beit Shemesh in one of the many revenge strikes on Israel. A black plume of smoke is seen rising from a warehouse at the industrial area of Sharjah City in the United Arab Emirates following reports of Iranian strikes in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on Sunday. Across the United Arab Emirates, 165 ballistic missiles were detected with authorities destroying 152, and intercepted two cruise missiles, its defence ministry said.
