"Footage released overnight on Sunday captures the moment Beit Shemesh, west of Jerusalem, was hit by an Iranian missile following joint US-Israeli military operations in Iran. Earlier on Sunday, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that the IDF had 'begun launching preemptive strikes' on Iran, declaring a nationwide state of emergency. Iranian media reported that the airstrikes targeted various locations in the capital, Tehran. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump said in a recorded speech that the US had launched 'large-scale combat operations in Iran,' pledging to "destroy Iran's missiles and completely eliminate its missile industry". In response, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps said that 'widespread missile and drone and attacks' against Israel were underway. US bases were also reportedly targeted in UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Iraq and Kuwait. The escalation comes after a third round of nuclear talks between Iran and the United States concluded in Geneva on Thursday, which Iran's foreign minister described as 'one of the most serious rounds of negotiations.'"
