A Palestinian civilian was killed on the outskirts of the Emirati capital Abu Dhabi when a missile hit their car this morning, authorities say, as Iran continued striking the Gulf amid its war with the US and Israel.

“Authorities in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi responded to an incident in the Al Bahia area involving a missile strike on a civilian vehicle, which resulted in the death of one Palestinian national,” the Abu Dhabi Media Office says in a statement.
