"Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency teams were deployed in Haifa on Sunday after a reported Iranian strike on the city, amid the ongoing war in the Middle East. Footage shows the damage and crews scanning impacted areas. "A number of people injured, including at least one in serious condition, following missile strike on residential building in Haifa region," MDA wrote on X. Earlier today, the organization reported 6 injuries in northern Israel. Tensions escalated after a joint US-Israeli strike on Iranian targets on February 28 amid diplomatic talks to 'curb Iran's nuclear and missile programmes'. Tehran retaliated with attacks on Israel and US bases across the region, with explosions reported in Gulf countries. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was later confirmed dead, and his son Mojtaba Khamenei was named as successor. President Trump recently issued a 48-hour ultimatum, expiring April 6, demanding that Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face strikes on energy sites. He also told reporters he could seize Kharg Island's oil facilities by temporarily occupying the island, while Netanyahu confirmed plans to expand security zones in neighbouring countries. The conflict has forced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which carries one-fifth of the world's oil; caused QatarEnergy to pause LNG production; and pulled in Lebanon's Hezbollah. Tensions also rose in the Red Sea, where Yemen's Houthi fighters, backed by Iran, have threatened to block traffic through the Bab el‑Mandeb Strait."
