Iranian missile hits main hospital in southern Israel as strikes wound dozens

18 Sept 10:20 Key points summarised by AI

Iranian missiles struck southern Israel, damaging a main hospital in Beersheba and residential buildings near Tel Aviv, injuring at least 40 people.
Israel retaliated by targeting Iran's Arak heavy water reactor and another nuclear site, aiming to prevent plutonium production for nuclear weapons.
These escalating attacks are part of a week-long conflict, with Israel striking Iranian military and nuclear targets, and Iran launching hundreds of missiles and drones, largely intercepted.
Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful despite enriching uranium to near weapons-grade levels, while Israel, a suspected nuclear power, does not disclose its capabilities.
The IAEA has warned against striking Iranian nuclear sites and noted a loss of "continuity of knowledge" regarding Iran's heavy water production, raising proliferation concerns.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
