Israel Iran war: French president Emmanuel Macron calls on Iran to return to negotiations

The Israeli Defence Forces said that they hit multiple military targets across Iran in a series of strikes overnight. Iran also launched a fresh barrage of missiles at Israel on Friday and hit the city of Beersheba for the second day straight after the strike on city's Soroka hospital. 

Iranian missiles struck Soroka hospital, southern Israel's largest medical facility, and hit residential buildings in Tel Aviv on Thursday, injuring 240 people and causing widespread damage.

Israel's Defence Minister, Israel Katz, blamed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and has given the army instructions to achieve their goals in Iran at any cost.

Israel launched strikes on Iran’s Arak heavy water reactor, marking its latest assault on Iran’s extensive nuclear program. Iranian state television reported that the facility had been evacuated prior to the attack and assured there was “no radiation danger whatsoever.”

The White House says President Donald Trump will decide within the next two weeks whether to strike Iran. It says Trump still sees a “substantial” chance that negotiations can achieve US and Israeli demands on Iran’s nuclear program.
