Israel-Gaza updates: 22, including 18 children, reported dead in Rafah strikes
The IDF says it struck military targets of terrorist organizations in Gaza.
Israel launched a retaliatory strike against Iran early Friday morning local time, a senior U.S. official told ABC News.
The strike followed Iran's attack on Saturday, when Tehran sent a volley of more than 300 drones and missiles toward targets in Israel, according to Israeli military officials. All but a few were intercepted by Israel and its allies, including the United States, officials said.
Iran's weekend attack came more than six months after Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on Oct. 7, after which the Israeli military began its bombardment of Gaza.

What to know about Iran's attack on Israel
Israeli officials said the country's Iron Dome defense system endured a big test from Iran's attack on Saturday, intercepting 99% of the 300 "threats of various types" thrown at it.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Daniel Hagari, launched 170 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), more than 120 ballistic missiles and more than 30 cruise missiles in the attack.
Hagari said "99% of the threats launched towards Israeli territory were intercepted -- a very significant strategic achievement."
Hagari said the attack resulted in only one known Israeli casualty, a 7-year-old girl who was severely injured when she was struck by shrapnel apparently from an intercepted missile.

Hamas says Israel is being 'stubborn' in negotiations
Hamas officials are accusing the Israelis of being "stubborn" during the latest round of negotiations in Cairo.
"Despite this," Hamas officials said in a statement, Hamas leaders are "studying the submitted proposal … and will inform the mediators of its response once this is completed."
CIA Director Bill Burns presented a new hostage/cease-fire proposal in Cairo this weekend, which included an initial release of 40 hostages in exchange for six-week cease-fire, a source familiar with the negotiations told ABC News.

Highest number of aid trucks enter Gaza since start of war
A total of 419 humanitarian aid trucks entered Gaza on Monday, marking the highest number of aid trucks to enter Gaza in one day since the start of the war, according to Israeli aid agency COGAT.
This beats the record that was set one day earlier, when 322 trucks entered Gaza.
Iran did not give US heads up on Israel attack: Pentagon
Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, said Monday that Iran did not give the U.S. an advanced notice of its attack on Israel.
"I think what you're asking was did Iran give us a heads up? No, they did not," Ryder said, without indicating whether the U.S. learned of Iran's plans through allies.
Ryder said U.S. forces in the Middle East intercepted dozens of missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles when Iran and its proxies launched attacks in retaliation for Israel's strike earlier this month on the Iranian Consulate in Damascus, Syria, that killed an Iranian military leader.
Ryder repeated assessments that 99% of incoming Iranian fire was intercepted by Israel and its partners, but he wouldn't confirm reports that half of the launches failed to get off the ground.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Ryder said, has spoken with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant three times since the attack.
"During their most recent call yesterday, the two leaders reviewed the successful combined operation by the United States, Israel and their partners to defend Israel from these unprecedented attacks by Iran and its proxies and emphasize that while the United States does not seek escalation, we will continue to take all necessary action to defend Israel and U.S. personnel," Ryder said.
Asked whether the response to Iran's attack depleted the air defense resources of Israel and its partners, Ryder declined to answer.
"As we demonstrated this weekend, we have the capability and the capacity to defend Israel and to defend our forces in the region," he said.
