Despite stunning early successes in Israel’s unprecedented strikes on Iran, a weekend of intensive bombardment and retaliation is raising questions about Israel’s exit strategy – how it can end this conflict with its ambitious goals achieved.

Over the weekend, Iran and Israel continued to trade fire following Israel’s strikes on Iranian nuclear and military targets last week, protesters took to the streets to call for “no kings” in America and President Donald Trump took in a massive American military day parade on his birthday despite some rain.

Several UN agencies are warning of the civilian toll in both Israel and Iran, and stressing the public not to forget about the continued destruction of Gaza.

Ukraine received another 1,245 bodies of its soldiers killed in the war with Russia on Monday in the final stage of the repatriation of remains agreed at talks in Istanbul, Ukrainian officials said.

Another batch of 1,245 more soldiers killed in battle were returned to Ukraine, which, according to the Russian side, belong to Ukrainian citizens, including military personnel, Ukrainian Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War reports.

The overnight attack was focused on Ukraine’s frontline Donetsk Oblast. Explosions were also reported in Kyiv, Sumy, and Khmelnytskyi oblasts. A total of 125 drones were shot down or suppressed by electronic warfare.
