Explosions sounded over Dubai early on Tuesday as the United Arab Emirates’ military worked to intercept incoming Iranian fire that caused the country to briefly close its airspace as Israel launched new strikes, taking the war into its 18th consecutive day.
The Israeli military said early Tuesday it had begun a “wide-scale wave of strikes” across Iran’s capital, adding that it was also stepping up strikes on Iran-backed Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. It announced the new strikes as Israel reported two incoming salvos from Iran.
