Some missiles fell in open areas with no casualties, while others caused casualties, including a migrant worker killed in central Israel and Palestinian women killed in the West Bank. Residential areas reported damage amid the ongoing strikes.In Regional Impacts, the foreign ministers of Arab and Islamic countries met in Riyadh and condemned the attacks by Iran, calling them deliberate aggression and urging Tehran to cease the attacks immediately.

The remarks followed reports that the Wall Street Journal indicated Trump did not want further strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure after Israel’s action, and that he could authorize additional moves depending on Tehran’s actions in the region.In Uplifting News, Berlin Rabbi Gesa Shira Ederberg was installed as the international head of the Rabbinical Assembly, making her the first European to lead the Conservative/Masorti movement’s Rabbinical Assembly.
