While the attacks continue and deepen the tensions, European leaders sought to open a last negotiation window before the conflict becomes irreversible.
The armed conflict between Israel and Iran has several consecutive days of clashes, with a tragic balance of more than 600 dead in Iranian territory and at least 24 on Israeli soil, according to official data.
The first bombings began on June 13, within the framework of an air offensive promoted by Tel Aviv, with the argument of preventing strategic advances in nuclear matters by Tehran. Israeli sources assured that in that operation “nine scientists and high -ranking experts” were eliminated, linked to the arms development of the Islamic Republic.
Since then, the climb resulted in a series of cross attacks by air and land, in a dynamic that already impacts fully on the stability of the region.
In the last hours, Iran redoubled their offensive with the launch of a new batch of missiles against northern Israel. The alarms were activated in Haifa and other areas of Galilee, which forced thousands of people to protect themselves in anti -aircraft shelters. The authorities maintain a constant surveillance operation due to the possibility of new incursions.
