Israel has been targeting Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon and oil storage facilities in Tehran. The Iranian crescent, red crescent, is warning people in the city to take extra precautions against toxic amounts of pollution in the air. The group says U.S. and Israeli strikes have damaged roughly 10,000 civilian structures in Iran.
Iran has been retaliating launching missiles and drones at U.S. and Israeli targets against the Gulf.

The military said Israel would pursue any successor, and target those participating in the selection process.

A sapling from Britain's famous Sikomor Gaptree also known as the Robin Hood Tree is returned to its native landscape in northern England, Vicky Barker reports. The sapling was planted by the ruins of Sikotanum Roman fort at the eastern end of the
ancient fortification of Hadrian's Wall. That's about 35 miles from the location of the original tree which stood about midway along the wall. But it's where long distance walkers hiking all 73 miles of the trail begin or end their journey, which the community group that campaigned for the sapling hopes will add extra
meaning to their achievement. Two men are serving four-year sentences for cutting down the iconic tree and act which sparked
international grief and outrage and one for which they've never apologized.
