Israel carried out an overnight airstrike in Tehran that resulted in the death of Iranian Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib. The attack was part of a broader series of operations targeting Iranian leadership and infrastructure.
The United States was informed in advance of Israel’s planned strike on Iran’s South Pars natural gas field, though it did not participate in the operation. Iran responded to the strike with a series of missile attacks, including one that hit a structure in the occupied West Bank town of Beit Awa, killing at least three people.
A projectile struck a ship off the coast of Qatar near Ras Laffan, an area previously targeted by Iranian fire. The UKMTO reported the vessel’s crew was safe, but it remained unclear whether the ship was deliberately targeted or hit by debris from intercepted missiles.
