Protesters disrupted a speech by Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a ceremony remembering the victims of Hamas’s 7 October attack on southern Israel last year.

People shouted “shame on you” and made a commotion, forcing Mr Netanyahu to stop his speech shortly after it began. The speech was broadcast live.

Meanwhile, Iran’s supreme leader said Israel’s attack “should not be exaggerated nor downplayed”, while stopping short of calling for retaliation.

The remarks from Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Sunday are the latest suggesting Iran is carefully weighing its response to the attack.

“It is up to the authorities to determine how to convey the power and will of the Iranian people to the Israeli regime and to take actions that serve the interests of this nation and country,” said Khamenei.

Israel claimed the attack, launched in three waves in the early hours of Saturday, was a “precise and targeted” response to the Iranian missile attack on the country on 1 October.

The comments come as one person was killed and dozens injured after a truck rammed into a bus stop at a major intersection near Tel Aviv, in what police said they suspected was a terrorist attack.

Israeli strikes on northern Gaza kill at least 33

Israeli strikes on northern Gaza have killed at least 33 people, mostly women and children, the health ministry of the Hamas-run Strip said yesterday.

The attacks drew sharp criticism from UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres, who said Israel’s war made the conditions of life “untenable for the Palestinian population there”.

“This conflict continues to be waged with little regard for the requirements of international humanitarian law,” he said in a post on X.

Meanwhile, two Israeli strikes killed eight people in Sidon city in southern Lebanon, with 25 wounded, according to Lebanon’s health ministry. One strike hit a residential building.

The Israeli military said four soldiers, including a military rabbi, were killed in fighting in southern Lebanon, without providing details.

Satellite images show damage from Israeli attack

An Israeli attack on Iran damaged facilities at a secretive military base southeast of the Iranian capital that experts in the past have linked to Tehran‘s onetime nuclear weapons program and at another base tied to its ballistic missile program, satellite photos analyzed Sunday by The Associated Press show.

Some of the buildings damaged sat in Iran’s Parchin military base, where the International Atomic Energy Agency suspects Iran in the past conducted tests of high explosives that could trigger a nuclear weapon. Iran long has insisted its nuclear program is peaceful, though the IAEA, Western intelligence agencies and others say Tehran had an active weapons program up until 2003.

Egypt proposes two-day Gaza ceasefire

Egypt’s president said his country has proposed a two-day cease-fire between Israel and the Hamas group in Gaza in an effort to free four hostages and release Palestinian prisoners.

Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi yesterday said the ceasefire proposal also includes the delivery of humanitarian aid to the besieged Strip.

Mr al-Sisi made the announcement as efforts to defuse the devastating, more than year-long war resumed in Qatar with the directors of the CIA and Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency taking part.

“I expect Hamas would listen to the new offers, but it remains determined that any agreement must end the war and get Israeli forces out of Gaza,” a Palestinian official told Reuters.

Egypt, along with Qatar and the US, have been working to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, but months of negotiations sputtered to a halt in August.

UN Security Council to meet today at Iran’s request

The UN Security Council scheduled an emergency meeting for this afternoon at Iran’s request on Israel’s air strikes against the country.

Switzerland, which holds the council’s rotating presidency, announced the meeting yesterday and said the Iranian request was supported by Russia, China and Algeria, the Arab representative on the council.

Meanwhile, Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian said his country will respond to Israel “appropriately”, after Israel openly attacked Iranian military sites for the first time this weekend.

“We are not seeking war, but we will defend the rights of our nation and country and will respond appropriately to the Zionist regime’s aggression,” Pezeshkian was quoted by state TV on Sunday as saying.

Iran says a civilian was killed in Israel’s attack

One civilian was killed in Israel’s attack on Iran, the nation’s officials said, without offering any details on the circumstances of his death.

The state-run IRNA news agency identified the dead man as Allahverdi Rahimpour and said he lived in a suburban area of southwestern Tehran.

Israeli warplanes on Saturday attacked military targets in Iran in response to Iran launching nearly 200 ballistic missiles toward Israel earlier this month.
