Israel and Iran continue to strike each other for a third day on Sunday, with Israel threatening to respond with even greater force as some Iranian missiles breached Israeli air defenses and hit residential buildings.

A new round of missile exchanges came after what Israel described as preemptive airstrikes targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, top regime officials, military leaders, and nuclear scientists. Neither side has shown any sign of backing down.
