Thousands of Britons are stranded in Israel and unable to leave, as Iran and Israel continue to attack each other in an intensifying conflict that has been ongoing for days. The Israeli airspace is closed until further notice and all flights have been grounded, with no sign of an imminent pause in hostilities.

Israel and Iran launched a new round of attacks as the conflict between the two heavily armed rivals enters its fifth day.

There is no sign the conflict is ending soon and many in the region fear a wider war as they watch waves of attacks.

Both countries have closed their airspaces, leaving few options for citizens of other countries seeking to leave.

Israel and Iran have traded missile strikes for a third straight day. Israel on Sunday hit targets in Tehran including the Defense Ministry and sites it claims are tied to Iran’s nuclear program.

Israeli citizens were ordered to head to bomb shelters on Friday night amid retaliatory missile strikes from Iran.

Iran fired dozens of missiles at Israel after Israeli strikes, triggering air raid sirens and sending residents to shelters.
