Strike was meant to show Iran that Israel could paralyze its defenses, Western officials say.
Deadly Israeli airstrikes again hit Rafah.
Israeli raid on a refugee camp in the West Bank kills at least 10 people.
The House, with a bipartisan vote, approves an aid package for Israel.
The Palestinian Authority’s president threatens to reconsider relations with the United States.
At a meeting in Turkey, Hamas’s political leader and Erdogan discussed how to achieve a ‘fair and permanent peace in the region.’

Satellite imagery shows that a precision attack damaged an air defense system at an Iranian base.
Strike was meant to show Iran that Israel could paralyze its defenses, Western officials say.
An Israeli airstrike on Iran on Friday damaged an air defense system, according to Western and Iranian officials, and appeared calculated to deliver a message that Israel could bypass Iran’s defensive systems undetected and paralyze them.
The strike damaged a defensive battery near Natanz, a city in central Iran that is critical to the country’s nuclear weapons program, according to the officials.
Even though the Israeli attack was in retaliation for Iran’s aerial barrage last week, it used a fraction of the firepower Tehran deployed. That attack, intercepted by Israel and its allies, caused minimal damage.
