Lebanon’s health minister says nearly 400 people have been killed in Israeli strikes across the country. Hospitals in southern Lebanon reported receiving injured people and bodies after an overnight attack on a village. The strikes come as tensions widen across the region. The US Central Command urged people in Iran to remain indoors, accusing Tehran of launching attacks from civilian areas. Residents in Tehran described heavy bombardment after oil depots were hit. One woman said, “You can smell the burning.” Meanwhile, a member of Iran’s Assembly of Experts said there is agreement on who could replace Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, though some obstacles remain.
