The Latest: Iran attacks Israel and Gulf countries after an Israeli strike kills its security chief

Iran has launched strikes toward Israel and Gulf countries, hours after an Israeli strike killed its security chief. Explosions were reported in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar early Wednesday. Saudi Arabia says it shot down a ballistic missile targeting an area around an air base that hosts U.S. forces. In Beirut, Israeli strikes hit central neighborhoods, where one attack leveled an apartment building at daybreak. Lebanon’s Health Ministry says two earlier strikes killed at least six people and wounded 24 others.
