Iran, Israel appear to pull back from brink as Gaza bombed again

Iran has dismissed as akin to child’s play the reported Israeli retaliation for an unprecedented Iranian strike, as both sides on Saturday appeared to step back from wider conflict stemming from the war in Gaza.Israeli officials have made no public comment on what, according to a senior United States congressional source who spoke to AFP, were retaliatory Israeli strikes against Iran.“It has been a very hard night,” the agency spokesman, Mahmud Bassal, said in a statement that reported several other areas of Rafah hit.Israel’ military said it struck dozens of militant targets over the past day, including the site in north Gaza from which a projectile was fired into the Israeli city of Sderot.
