200 Marines arrived in Los Angeles on Friday to protect federal property and personnel amid demonstrations. CBS News correspondent Nidia Cavazos reports. Iran has launched missiles toward Israel, which defense systems are operating to intercept, the Israel Defense Forces said Friday.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on Iranians Friday to unite against what he described as an "evil and oppressive regime", telling them Israel was engaged in "one of the greatest military operations in history".

Israel's leader Benjamin Netanyahu has spoken to some world leaders since the country attacked Iran, and is due to have talks with U.S. President Donald Trump, Russia's Vladimir Putin and UK's Keir Starmer.

Iran once ridiculed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the boy who cried wolf for his constant public warnings about Tehran's nuclear programme, and his repeated threats to shut it down, one way or another.

Benjamin Netanyahu has said for three decades that the central threat to Israel’s existence is Iran’s nuclear program. At least twice over that period, he came within inches of carrying out an attack on it.

He saw himself as a lone figure on the hill, watching the storm clouds gather while others looked away—warning that action was needed, and vowing to take it if no one else would.
