Iran answered with rockets toward Israel. 2 people died near Tel-Aviv. Iran also shot rockets at the country Qatar. A large gas plant there was hit. A fire started in Qatar after this. Qatar sent 2 diplomats from Iran home because of this.

Israel reported the death of important leaders from Iran. Ali Larijani was a high official for security. Assassins killed him during an attack. The leader of a large militia also died. Iran wants revenge for these deaths. Oil and gas now cost much more money due to the fighting. Shipping in the Gulf is in danger.
