# Iran launched its first missiles at Israel since April on Sunday, and warned of further attacks if prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government continues its offensive in Lebanon. This comes after Israel struck Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah targets in southern Beirut. Iran has also threatened to block the Bab al-Mandab Strait, another vital maritime corridor in the Middle East, if Israel escalates its attack. Meanwhile, the Israeli Defence Force says it will retaliate with determination as soon as the order is given.
