The Middle East braced for the possibility of a return to full-scale war after Israel and Iran fired at each other. It was the first such exchange since a ceasefire two months ago. Also Monday, Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen launched a missile at Israel and threatened to disrupt Red Sea shipping.
Iran fired at Israel after warning against Israel's attacks in Lebanon, including strikes on Beirut on Sunday. Israel says it is targeting the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group. Its Beirut strike defied Washington's request days ago to stand down.
The Israeli strikes against Iran came after U.S. President Donald Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he didn't think Israel needed to respond further.
