Four days into their war with Iran, Israelis are shaken and anxious, yet remain resilient, still backing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to confront a longstanding foe.

Israel faced retaliation from Iran after launching missiles against Tehran's leadership and energy infrastructure as part of "Operation Rising Lion" this weekend. Iran's military responded with a wave of missile strikes against Israel,

The Israel-Iran conflict has escalated into its fourth day with mounting casualties, widening attacks, and no sign of diplomatic resolution.

President Trump rejected an Israeli plan in recent days to kill Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a senior U.S. official told USA TODAY.

Israel warned Tehran civilians to evacuate the city ahead of planned Israeli strikes on “the Iranian regime’s military infrastructure” on Monday—the first time in the now four-day conflict that an evacuation warning has been issued for targeted residential areas.

Since Israel began its concerted attack on Iran on Friday, calls for regime change in Iran have grown louder – from hawks in the US Congress to Israeli officials and some Iranian activists abroad.

The Washington-based group Human Rights Activists reported a far higher death toll in Iran from Israeli strikes, saying the attacks have killed at least 406 people and wounded another 654. In recent crises, Iran routinely has undercounted casualties, including in the 2022 mass demonstrations over mandatory hijab laws after the death of Mahsa Amini.
