Israel and Iran carried out new attacks on Thursday as fighting in the Middle East entered its sixth day. Israeli forces said they struck a missile launcher in Qom and an air defence system in Isfahan. Explosions were also reported in Tehran. Iran responded with missile and drone attacks toward Israel. Air raid sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Israeli defence systems intercepted several strikes in the sky. Meanwhile, the UK delayed a planned evacuation flight for its citizens from Oman due to a technical issue. In the United States, lawmakers voted against a proposal that would have limited the authority of Donald Trump to order further military action against Iran. (PC: BBC)
