Live updates: Israel seeks retribution for hospital strike; Trump knocks report that he's OK'd attack plan

President Trump pushed back Thursday on reports he had given a green light to an Iran attack plan. “The Wall Street Journal has No Idea what my thoughts are concerning Iran!” Trump posted on Truth Social, referencing a late Wednesday story that indicated he had approved plans.

Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu said Iran would pay for targeting a civilian area of southern Israel on Thursday, with a missile hitting a hospital in Beersheba. No serious injuries were caused by the strike, but there was "extensive" damage.
