Hours after the U.S. struck three Iranian nuclear sites, Iran launched more than 40 missiles toward Israel on Sunday morning, injuring 23 people and destroying apartment buildings and homes in three cities across Israel. In Tel Aviv, a missile damaged several residential buildings, stores and a nursing home. Strikes have displaced more than 9,000 people from their homes since the start of the war with Iran, according to the Israeli military. Missiles have damaged 240 residential buildings, including more than 2,000 individual apartments.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is lifting a curfew in downtown Los Angeles. Her announcement Tuesday comes after she first imposed the curfew June 10 in response to clashes with police, looting and vandalism amid protests against President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in the city. Bass, a Democrat, says she is lifting the curfew following “successful crime prevention and suppression efforts.” On Monday she trimmed back the hours after a drop in arrests during evening demonstrations. She says the curfew protected stores, restaurants, businesses and residents from people engaging in vandalism and looting.

Retail sales fell sharply in May as consumers pulled back after a sharp increase in spending in March to get ahead of President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on nearly all imports. Sales at retail stores and restaurants dropped 0.9% in May, the Commerce Department said Tuesday, after a decline of 0.1% in April. The figure was pulled down by a steep drop in auto sales, after Americans ramped up their car-buying in March to get ahead of Trump’s 25% duty on imported cars and car parts. Excluding autos, sales fell 0.3%. The sales drop comes after sharp declines in consumer confidence this year.
