Israeli authorities triggered alerts for renewed missile attacks on Sunday, including around Tel Aviv, after Iranian missiles destroyed buildings overnight and killed at least 10 people, as President Donald Trump urged both sides to "make a deal."
Why It Matters
Israel launched the first of a series of airstrikes across Iran late on Thursday, U.S. time, a "preemptive" campaign it said was needed to take out Iran's nuclear facilities, its ballistic missile stockpile and other military sites.
An Iranian official said 78 people were killed and more than 300 injured in Tehran as Israel declared a state of emergency and prepared for Iran's response.

Tehran then launched waves of drone and missile strikes on Israeli territory. Israel said it had intercepted "most" of the missiles and uncrewed aerial vehicles.
Both sides have continued firing at one another in the days since.
Iran canceled planned negotiations with the U.S. on its nuclear program on Sunday, and both sides indicated they would launch further strikes. Trump wrote ion Truth Social that "many calls and meetings now taking place" to secure "PEACE, soon, between Israel and Iran." The fate of the talks is not clear.
Tonight, once again, the Iranian regime deliberately targeted Israeli civilians as they slept.

What To Know
The Israeli military said on Sunday afternoon local time that sirens were sounding across the country after Iran launched an unspecified number of missiles. Local media later reported the alerts had ended.
Iranian state media said the military had attacked the Israeli cities of Tel Aviv, Haifa, in the north, and Ashkelon in the south.
At least seven people were killed and more than 100 injured when an Iranian ballistic missile hit Bat Yam, just south of Tel Aviv, overnight on Sunday, domestic media reported. Other reports put the death toll at six people.
Israel's police said residential buildings took a "direct hit that caused extensive damage."

Another four people were killed in Tamra, a Palestinian-Israeli town in Israel's north, authorities said.
A total of 13 people have been killed in Israel since Friday, and nearly 400 more injured, Israeli authorities said. Nine of the injured were reported to be in a serious condition.
Renewed explosions were also reported in the Iranian capital on Sunday afternoon. Initial reports suggested several bombs had detonated in Tehran.
An Israel Defense Forces spokesperson declined to confirm or deny Israeli involvement.
Israel's armed forces had warned Iranians close to military sites to immediately leave the area.
Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani, a spokesperson for the Israeli military, said in a briefing at 5 p.m. on Sunday (10 a.m. ET) that Israeli warplanes had been operating in Iranian airspace for more than 50 hours.
A total of 13 people have been killed in Israel by Iranian strikes since Friday, Israeli authorities said on Sunday.

Israel established a "safer route" for the aircraft to use in targeting Iran, Shoshani said. The Israeli military is continuing to target nuclear sites and infrastructure, as well as other military targets.
Iran still has hundreds of ballistic missiles to use, Shoshani said.
The U.S. and Israel view the possibility of Iran gaining a nuclear weapon as unacceptable. Israel said it had launched its strikes on Friday because it believed Tehran would have a nuclear weapon "in a very short time."
Tehran has maintained its nuclear development is peaceful, but the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) warned it has dramatically increased uranium enrichment to levels very close to what would be needed to produce a weapon.
The IAEA said on Thursday Iran was not cooperating with its nuclear obligations for the first time in two decades.
Trump has threatened Iran with "bombing the likes of which they have never seen before" if it does not ink a deal limiting its program. The president said on Friday he had given Iran "chance after chance to make a deal."
What People Are Saying
Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Aragchi, said on Saturday that talks between Iran and the U.S. on the nuclear program were "unjustifiable" while Israeli strikes continued.
What Happens Next
Trump said on Sunday: "Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal."
