The war has spread to nearby Middle East countries. In Kuwait, several US warplanes are said to have crashed while their crews survived.
Meanwhile, smoke plumes were seen rising across Sharjah and Dubai as Iranian strikes hit the United Arab Emirates cities.
This as scores of people were fleeing Beirut's southern suburbs early Monday after Israel launched a series of retailiatory strikes for missiles fired across the border by the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
Thick black smoke seen billowing up from an industrial area in Sharjah, a city in the United Arab Emirates. A warehouse was caught alight. No casualties were immediately reported.
And smoke also seen close to Dubai International Airport. This is Terminal One. And across town...This is Port Jabal Ali.
The UAE's Defence Ministry said that three people have been killed so far in Iranian attacks on the country.
And in Lebanon, the traffic on this highway is going just one way. Scores of people fleeing Beirut's southern suburbs early Monday after Israel launched a series of strikes targeting militant group Hezbollah.
This man said he heard three explosions so went up to his roof and saw that the explosions were behind him. "We could only see the smoke. We all fled and after 10 minutes there was the last strike. It was three consecutive strikes," he said.
Lebanese government officials had urged Hezbollah not to enter the fray in support of Iran, fearing another damaging war. The country has not recovered from the last Israel-Hezbollah war which nominally ended with a U.S.-brokered ceasefire in November 2024.
In Syria, four people including three children, were injured in Ain Terma by Iranian missile debris, Syria's state news agency SANA reported. The injured, a father and his three daughters were transferred to a hospital.Their injuries minor.
Syria's Civil Defence surveyed wreckage in Ain Terma, a town outside the capital Damascus, after receiving reports of a rocket explosion.
Projectiles seen too over the occupied West Bank - glowing fragments in the night sky believed to be from an interception of an Iranian missile.
And in Iraq, Iran-backed militia said Sunday they had struck American bases in Irbil with drones and rockets, as retaliatory attacks for the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The umbrella group dubbed the Islamic Resistance claimed responsibility for this attack and also for targeting U.S. troops at the Baghdad airport.
