Israel launches limited retaliatory military strike against Iran

Published April 19, 2024 at 7:06 AM CDT

On Friday, Israel launched a limited military strike on Iran over the city of Isfahan, where several important nuclear facilities are located. The region has been anticipating a retaliatory strike from Israel after Iran’s own retaliatory assault on Israel last weekend.

We hear from Steve Hendrix, Jerusalem bureau chief with our editorial partners at the Washington Post.
