US, Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: Residents in Dubai received push alerts on their phones urging them to shelter from potential missile threats and steer clear of windows and doors.
The raging war in the Middle East entered its seventh day on Friday, with Israel announcing a “next phase” in the conflict and bombing Lebanon’s Beirut.
The Israeli military said it killed Hezbollah’s commander Zaid Ali Jumaa in Beirut. Lebanon was dragged into the widening conflict on Monday, when Iran-backed Hezbollah attacked Israel to avenge the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Bahrain said that Iran had struck a hotel and two residential buildings in the capital Manama.
The war in the Middle East broke out when Israel and the US attacked Iran last Saturday, killing 86-year-old Khamenei. Iran then fired a missile barrage at Israel and at multiple American military bases in Gulf countries. The war spread to Asia as the US sank an Iranian warship off the coast of Sri Lanka on Wednesday, killing about 80 people.
