On today’s episode, Israel's war cabinet says Iran’s attack will be "met with a response".
Tehran says it is prepared to carry out a "stormy and united" reaction to any attack from Israel after Iran launched drone and missile strikes at the weekend.
Officials say Israel released dozens of Palestinian detainees, many of whom have accused Israeli authorities of mistreatment, which the military denies.
Hisham Adwan, spokesman for the Gaza Crossings Authority, said 150 detainees from "various parts of the Gaza Strip who were detained by the Israeli occupation have been released" through the Karm Abu Salem crossing.
Meanwhile, weather warnings are in place in the UAE after large parts of the country were hit by torrential rain and thunderstorms in the early hours of Tuesday.

Key findings of Jenkins report
- Founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al Banna, "accepted the political utility of violence"
- Views of key Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Sayyid Qutb, have “consistently been understood” as permitting “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” and “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
- Muslim Brotherhood at all levels has repeatedly defended Hamas attacks against Israel, including the use of suicide bombers and the killing of civilians.
- Laying out the report in the House of Commons, David Cameron told MPs: "The main findings of the review support the conclusion that membership of, association with, or influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be considered as a possible indicator of extremism."
