The United States and Israel launched strikes against Iran on February 28, with Israel’s public broadcaster reporting that supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had been targeted, as the Islamic republic retaliated with barrages of missiles at Gulf states and Israel.

A missile killed four people when it struck a building in southern Syria on Saturday, state media reported, after a US-Israeli attack on Iran sparked a response from Tehran.
Quoting the media directorate in Sweida, the official SANA news agency reported that “four people were killed and a number of people were injured as a result of a missile explosion in the industrial area inside the city of Sweida”.
The state media report did not specify where the missile had originated, after a previous report said it had been fired from Iran.
