🇮🇱🇮🇷 Israel will continue to strike Iran, ignoring potential negotiations; the conflict has caused hundreds of casualties

* Ron Dermer, Israel's Minister of Strategic Affairs, said that regardless of the progress of the negotiations between the US and Iran, Israel will continue to take military action against Iran's missile and nuclear programs, aiming to "eliminate these two threats".
* US President Trump said that Iran hopes to negotiate to ease the conflict, but Israel's military operations are "ahead of schedule".
* Since last Friday, the Iranian government said that 224 people have died, mostly civilians. The Israeli government said that Iran's attacks have killed 24 Israelis and injured 592 others.
* Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel aims to end the half-century-long conflict and does not rule out targeting Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
* Analysts are concerned that the missile exchanges between Israel and Iran could push the Middle East into a regional conflict, causing more casualties and potentially disrupting energy flows and major trade routes.
