Hundreds of missiles were fired into Israel, hitting the northern city of Haifa and injuring at least four people. Israel’s civil defense ordered schools in the region closed. Lebanon reported three deaths, with more than 45 casualties from recent strikes. UN officials warned of an "imminent catastrophe" in the Middle East, calling for urgent de-escalation.
