Israel has launched a series of strikes against Iran, targeting the country’s nuclear program and other military infrastructure. Iran has launched its own strikes in retaliation.

Daylight on Sunday revealed the massive destruction caused by Iranian missiles in the Israeli city of Bat Yam, near Tel Aviv. Destroyed buildings and ruined cars littered the streets.

Israel identified and struck missile launchers in Iran overnight, the Israel Defense Forces said Sunday morning. "Over the past hour, the IAF completed an additional series of strikes on storage and missile launch infrastructure sties in western Iran," the IDF said in an update on the Telegram messaging app at about 8 a.m. in Israel.

One Baltimore County man spoke with 11 News about living in Israel during their exchange of missile strikes with Iran. "It's been crazy times the past couple days," said 23-year-old Zach Simons. "We're basically stuck in the apartment. We try not to leave too much because you never know when there's going to be an alert."
