00:00Hundreds of residents of Tel Aviv have opted to sleep in underground subway stations as the threat of Iranian strikes continues to loom.
00:09The conflict has now entered its second week, with the intensity of strikes only increasing.
00:14On Thursday, an Iranian attack struck a hospital complex and residential buildings in southern Israel, wounding at least 240 people.
00:22Another missile also struck the vicinity of the European Union delegation in Tel Aviv.
00:27A spokesperson for the European Commission stated that all personnel were safe, but expressed grave concern that diplomatic premises were damaged in the attacks.
00:37The area struck houses several European embassies, including those from the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, North Macedonia and Ireland.
00:46In late of the strikes, Israel's defense minister Israel Katz stressed that Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, quote, cannot continue to exist.
00:55In a post on X, Katz called Khamenei a dictator and labeled him a modern-day Hitler.
01:02The U.S. appears to be weighing options as it too considers joining the conflict militarily.
01:08U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly called on Iran to unconditionally surrender and says he'll decide within two weeks on whether or not to directly attack.
01:17Trump noted that the two weeks are to allow for any potential diplomatic solutions to run their course before further escalating regional tensions.
