Israeli warplanes struck the southern suburbs of Beirut on Sunday, marking the first attack on the Lebanese capital since a ceasefire was extended earlier this month. The Israeli military said it targeted a Hezbollah infrastructure facility in the Dahiyeh area in response to rocket fire from Lebanon into northern Israel.

Hours later, Iran launched missiles toward northern Israel - the first such direct attack since a fragile ceasefire took effect in April. Israeli media reported three waves of missiles, with initial reports indicating damage in the city of Tiberias. The Israeli military said its air defense systems intercepted all incoming projectiles, and authorities temporarily suspended operations at Ben Gurion Airport.

Early Monday, Israel launched strikes on targets in western and central Iran in response to the missile barrage. Iran's Revolutionary Guards described the missile attack as "the beginning of a full week of continuous strikes" against Israel. Iran suspended all incoming flights to Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport until further notice.

Oil prices rose in Asian trading, with Brent crude gaining 2.6 percent to $95.50 a barrel. US President Donald Trump urged both sides to avoid further escalation. "The Iranian strikes didn't hurt anybody," Trump told Israeli media. "Israel had its strike and Iran had its strike. We don't need another one." He said he planned to speak directly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discourage additional military action.
