Unrest in West Asia escalated after Iran fired nearly 200 ballistic missiles at targets in Israel on Tuesday and the US military worked closely with Israeli forces to defend Israel against that attack.

U.S. Navy destroyers, along with Israeli air defense units, fired interceptors to shoot down incoming missiles. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Iran's missile attack on his country a “big mistake” and said Tehran would pay for it.

A day after Iran attacked Israel with rocket fire, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) called on Lebanese civilians in two dozen villages in southern Lebanon to immediately evacuate. The Israeli military said it would inform civilians as soon as they were able to return.

“Hezbollah’s activities force the IDF to take action against it. The IDF does not want to harm you. For your safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately. Anyone who is near Hezbollah operatives, their facilities or their weapons is putting themselves at risk,” Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, said in a statement on X.
