Israel’s defence minister has overtly threatened Iran’s supreme leader after the latest missile barrage from Iran damaged a major hospital and hit a high-rise and several other residential buildings near Tel Aviv.

At least 40 people were wounded in the attacks, according to Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue service.
