Over the night the region witnessed marked missile exchanges, drone interceptions and urgent evacuation orders.As air raid sirens blared in Israel and explosions lit up the skies over Tehran, US President Donald Trump cut short his appearance at the G7 summit in Canada,

The conflict between Israel and Iran has rapidly escalated since Israel launched a series of air strikes against key Iranian targets.

Reports of the latest missile attacks on Israel circulated on Iranian state media hours after Israel said it had attacked a media building in Tehran.

China on Tuesday accused U.S. President Donald Trump of “pouring oil” on the growing conflict between Iran and Israel. The claim has been made after the American leader issued an urgent evacuation warning to residents of Tehran. The recent flare-up began after Israel launched a surprise aerial assault last week on multiple targets across Iran.

"In the coming hours, the Israeli army will operate in this area, as it has done in recent days in the vicinity of Tehran."

After Israel attacked Iran, the population has lamented the lack of adequate safety instructions and evacuation orders, turning to social media for answers.

Meanwhile Donald Trump says his early G7 exit has "nothing to do" with an Israel-Iran ceasefire, as fighting between the two nations enters a fifth day.

"Iran will pay a very heavy price for the premeditated murder of civilians, women and children," Netanyahu said during a visit to the site of a missile strike on a residential building in the coastal city of Bat Yam, near Tel Aviv. The death toll in Israel since the attacks began on Friday is at least 13.
