Israel imposes complete siege on occupied West Bank following strike on Iran

Israel imposed a complete siege on the occupied West Bank on Friday, deploying heavy contingents of Israeli forces to various areas in the region.

The move comes amid intensified Israeli military operations in Gaza and a recent wave of large-scale airstrikes on Iran, raising fears of escalation .

According to Iranian media, the Israeli airstrikes targeted residential areas in the capital, Tehran, killing at least five civilians and injuring 20 others, including women and children.

Videos circulating on social media reportedly show plumes of smoke rising from the targeted areas following the airstrikes.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump stated that the United States is prepared to defend Israel if Iran retaliates.
