Israel's West Bank raid kills infant as Iran launches rockets in retaliation

Iran fired a volley of rockets toward Israeli territory, marking the first such launch since the April cease‑fire. The Israeli Defence Forces said its air‑defence system intercepted all projectiles and detected additional launches, while Iranian officials warned that Israel would face “even more severe” strikes if it continued attacks on Lebanon and Gaza.

The Israeli army reported that a soldier opened fire on a civilian vehicle in the West Bank, killing a seven‑month‑old baby in Hebron and wounding the child's parents. An investigation by the Military Police was opened. Separate Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip killed nine people and injured dozens more, prompting renewed calls for a cease‑fire and diplomatic talks mediated by Egypt, Qatar and Turkey.
