As Iran retaliates, largest US military base in Middle East hit by ballistic missile, Qatar says

The United Arab Emirates' ministry of defense said a civilian was killed as a result of fallen debris after "a blatant attack involving Iranian ballistic missiles."

The statement from the ministry said "air defence systems dealt with the missiles with high efficiency and successfully intercepted a number of missiles."

In Israel, the national emergency service said at least one person suffered blast injuries on Saturday.

The man, who injured in northern Israel, was in “mild condition,” according to the service.

The emergency service said its teams also treated "several individuals who were injured on their way to protected spaces, all fully conscious, as well as to people suffering from anxiety across the country."

Iran's state broadcaster IRIB reported that five girls were killed when Israeli strikes targeted an elementary school in the southern city of Minab on Saturday.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said its missiles and drones targeted the headquarters of the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, other U.S. military bases in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, as well as "military and security centers in the heart of the occupied territories," according to Iran’s semiofficial Fars News Agency, which is affiliated with the IRGC.

Bahrain’s state-run news agency said Saturday that the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet’s service center was targeted in a missile attack Saturday.

The joint Israeli-U.S. strike on Iran "included an attack on dozens of military targets and was carried out as part of a broad, coordinated, and joint attack against the regime," a spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.

The IDF statement emphasized close cooperation with the U.S.

"In the months leading up to the attack, close joint planning was carried out between the IDF and the US Army, which enabled the broad attack to be carried out with maximum synchronization and coordination between the armies," the IDF statement said. "The IDF, across all its systems, has a rigorous and long-term preparation process for the operation, both in the defense systems and in the various attack plans."
