Iran and its ally, the Lebanese militant Hezbollah group, stepped up pressure on Israel on Sunday, with intense attacks on the country's north and south after the United States and Iran threatened to widen their targets in the war in the Middle East, now in its fourth week.
As Israel came under renewed fire, top Israeli leaders traveled to the Negev Desert, home to the country’s main nuclear research center and the site where Iran's barrages struck two towns on Saturday, shattering apartment buildings and injuring scores of people in Arad and Dimona.
