Here are some of the day’s top developments:

• US-Israeli attacks killed at least 12 people in southern Tehran, the Fars news agency reported.
• Israeli forces killed at least 33 people in Lebanon over the past day, including a 15-year-old boy, Lebanese officials said.
• Israeli medics said one person was killed and two were injured by rockets fired from Lebanon into northern Israel.
• The UAE said an Iranian attack killed a Moroccan civilian working with its armed forces in Bahrain. Several soldiers were also injured.
• US President Donald Trump said that talks to end the war on Iran are ongoing, claiming that Tehran wants to make a deal “so badly”.
• Iran’s parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said Trump’s claims about negotiations are “fake news” being “used to manipulate financial and oil markets”.
• Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi welcomed German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier’s remarks that the US-Israel war is a “violation of international law”.

The Canadian has strongly condemned Israel’s plans to occupy territory in southern Lebanon, adding that Lebanese sovereignty and territorial integrity must not be violated.

It also said that Hezbollah’s attacks on Israel must cease and called for the Lebanese group’s disarmament.

A building has collapsed in Bnei Brak, near Tel Aviv, after Israeli authorities said it was hit by an Iranian missile, injuring several people.

Watch below for scenes from the ground:

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has discussed the US-Israel war on Iran with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, a Downing Street spokesperson said.

Starmer reiterated support for Saudi Arabia amid the ongoing attacks across the region and updated the Saudi crown prince on the deployment of further UK defensive military equipment, the spokesperson said.

“Iran’s ongoing attacks, including on critical national infrastructure, were appalling,” Starmer said.

“Following the UK-led joint statement last week, the UK was now working with partners on what a viable plan could look like to ensure the flow of goods through the key maritime route,” Downing Street said, quoting Starmer.

Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, has said his country is not part of alleged talks between the US and Iran that are speculated to be held later this week.

Danon told UN reporters today that the US, along with Israel, was continuing to hit “military targets in Iran, and we will continue to do that”.

The strikes first launched by the two allies on Iran have “accomplished a lot”, he said, but not everything.

Danon added that Israel is bent on ensuring Iran has no capabilities for nuclear or ballistic missiles.

The envoy further accused Iranian authorities of saying, weeks earlier, that Iran did not have intermediate-range missiles – then allegedly firing a missile 4,000km (2,485 miles) towards the Diego Garcia island, which hosts an important US/UK army base.

Iran denied that it carried out the attack on the remote Indian Ocean location yesterday. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte on Sunday said the alliance could not confirm Israel’s claim that the projectiles used were Iranian intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Cyprus has asked the United Kingdom to negotiate new security arrangements for UK military bases on the island following Iranian drone attacks earlier this month, The Telegraph reports.

Al Jazeera could not immediately verify the report.

Iran says that at least 12 people have been killed and 28 others wounded in an “enemy attack” on the residential areas of Varamin in southern Tehran, in a statement carried by the Fars News Agency.

Since the start of the US-Israel war on Iran, at least 1,500 people have been killed, and more than 18,550 others have been injured.

Earlier, we reported that Lebanon’s Health Ministry had said that the number of people killed in Lebanon since Israel escalated its offensive on March 2 has risen to 1,072.

The government’s Disaster Risk Management Unit has now said that the number of people killed in the last daily reporting period was 33, while 90 people were injured.

Hezbollah has said it has targeted Israeli soldiers and infrastructure in southern Lebanon and the occupied Golan Heights.

In a series of statements, the group said it attacked Israeli troops gathering in three different areas of the southern Lebanese town of Taybeh with rockets and artillery shelling on Tuesday afternoon.

The group also said it targeted Israeli army infrastructure in the illegal Israeli settlement of Katzrin in the occupied Golan Heights with a rocket on Tuesday evening.

Lebanese officials have warned that the Israeli military appears to be planning a full-scale ground invasion south of the Litani River, an area US and Israeli officials have said they consider a part of the so-called “Greater Israel“.

Lebanese authorities have provided an update on the number of people in state shelters amid the ongoing Israeli attacks.

A total of 134,921 people are currently in 657 shelters, the Disaster Risk Management Unit operating under the Presidency of the Council of Ministers said, according to the National News Agency.

Nearly one in five people in Lebanon – more than 1 million – have been displaced since Israel renewed its attacks on Lebanon on March 2.

Israeli emergency services say at least 12 people have been injured in the centre of the country this evening after a missile launch from Iran.

The Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency service said it provided first aid to nine people in the city of Bnei Brak, near Tel Aviv, before taking them to local hospitals.

It said the wounded included a 23-year-old man in moderate condition with shrapnel injuries to the abdomen and head, and “eight in mild condition, including six children”.

Three people were also wounded in nearby Givat Shmuel, the MDA said.

The AFP news agency’s TV service ran footage from Bnei Brak showing heavy damage to buildings, including a balcony that collapsed onto a car. Images published by the MDA showed a building where a top-floor apartment had collapsed into the floor below.

The Israeli military has issued 12 alerts warning of incoming Iranian missiles this evening.

Washington has sent Iran a 15-point plan aimed at ending the US-Israel war, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.

News of the US plan was reported earlier by The New York Times, which, citing two officials, said the plan was delivered by way of Pakistan.

The latest Israeli air attacks on southern Lebanon have targeted the towns of Beit Lif and Hanin in southern Lebanon, our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic are reporting.

In a statement, Hezbollah also said it targeted a gathering of Israeli soldiers in the border town of Naqoura with a swarm of attack drones.
