Ramat Gan, Israel
A baby is evacuated from the site of a direct hit from an Iranian missile strike in Ramat Gan. The conflict started when Israel launched hundreds of airstrikes on Iran in the early morning of last Friday, in what it said was an operation aimed at preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Iran quickly responded with a barrage of missiles and drones, triggering a tit-for-tat cycle of bombing between the two countries.

Gravelines, France
People thought to be migrants emerge from bushes on a beach in Gravelines after French authorities fired teargas. Plans by French police to enter the sea to stop small boats carrying UK-bound asylum seekers will cause more deaths and be challenged in the European courts, a French charity has said. Arthur Dos Santos, the coordinator of the refugee charity Utopia 56, said there would be an increase in the number of people who would take ‘desperate’ measures to reach the UK.
