For the second time in months, Iran has unleashed a barrage of missiles at Israel, marking another sharp escalation in Middle East tensions. How people in both Israel and Iran reacted; how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is responding; the questions about what kind of action the U.S. might take; and the growing fears among Lebanese-Canadians. Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet is promising to push for a early election if the Liberals don’t boost old age security.
