Breaking News: Israel launches missile strikes into Iran, U.S. military official confirms. Dive into the details and find out more!

Amid rising tensions, Israel has reportedly launched missile strikes into Iran, as confirmed by a U.S. military official. The Iranian news sources have not yet acknowledged these strikes, and Israel's military remains silent on the matter. In what seems to be a retaliatory move, Israel conducted a limited and targeted strike in response to recent drone attacks.

Meanwhile, shifting focus from the military strikes, let's take a quick sojourn to Israel post-October 7. A nostalgic look back at a seder class with Rabbi Danny Schiff offers insights into the traditions and tips for editing the Haggadah liberally.

The Biden administration maintains a tight-lipped stance on the Israel-Iran conflict as Israel responds with symbolic strikes against Iran. The recent aerial strikes by both countries mark a significant escalation in hostilities, raising concerns about further escalations in the region.

In summary, the situation between Israel and Iran remains volatile, with limited information available on the extent of the missile strikes. The strategic moves by Israel and the restrained response by the Biden administration reflect the delicate balance in the Middle East's geopolitical landscape.
