By Alexander Cornwell, Parisa Hafezi and Jeff Mason TEL AVIV/DUBAI/WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Iranian missiles struck Israel's Tel Aviv and the port city of Haifa before dawn on Monday, destroying homes and fuelling concerns among world leaders at this week's G7 meeting that the battle between the two old enemies could lead to a broader regional conflict.

Israel’s multi-layered defences include its famous Iron Dome, which intercepts short-range surface-to-surface rockets, artillery and mortars, and David’s Sling, which intercepts short- to medium-range missiles and short-range ballistic missiles.

Israeli officials have been pushing the United States to join the fray and use its huge bunker-busting bomb to crush Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Iranian missiles damaged the US embassy in Tel Aviv, escalating tensions. Israel retaliated with strikes on Iran's energy sector, while both sides continued attacks.
