War in the Middle East: latest developments Paris, France, March 22 (AFP) Mar 22, 2026 Here are the latest developments in the Middle East war on Sunday:
"We're going after the regime. We're going after the IRGC, this criminal gang," Netanyahu said as he inspected the damage in the southern town of Arad.
"I urgently call on all parties to exercise maximum military restraint and avoid any actions that could trigger nuclear incidents," WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on X.
"Immediately after power plants and infrastructure in our country are targeted, vital infrastructure as well as energy and oil infrastructure across the entire region will be considered legitimate targets and will be irreversibly destroyed," Ghalibaf said in a social media post.
He said the military was also instructed to "accelerate the demolition of Lebanese houses in the contact villages in order to thwart threats to Israeli communities".
While Qatar has been targeted by several Iranian strikes since the start of the Middle East war, no connection has been made between the chopper and the conflict triggered by US-Israeli attacks on Iran.
Diego Garcia, part of the Chagos Islands, is one of two bases which the UK has allowed the United States to use for what the British government calls "defensive operations" in the war against Iran.
"The attacks targeted dozens of water transmission and treatment facilities and destroyed parts of critical water supply networks," he said, adding that repairs were under way.
"Eight separate attacks, carried out until dawn with rockets and drones targeted the US centre," a senior security official told AFP, while a second security official said there had been six strikes.
Local firefighters said flames engulfed two vehicles after a "direct hit" in the northern Israeli kibbutz community of Misgav Am.
Israel's emergency medical service said there were no immediate reports of casualties.
