Trent Murray has more on the latest strike. Well, the cell phone alerts and city sirens sounded just before 9 p.m. local time, sending

people into their shelters. It was a very wide area of warning with Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa all included in the potential impact zone. Now here in Tel Aviv we certainly heard a number of interceptions from inside of our building's safe room but there are no immediate signs of a direct impact in our part of the city. Authorities though are saying there have been several injuries, including in Haifa, Israel's second largest city located in the far north. Local media is showing fire crews working to extinguish flames in a residential street. The IDF is also saying that Home Front Command has sent search and rescue forces to several reported impact sites, including

in the far south. Trent Murray for CBC News, Tel Aviv. World leaders are headed to Cananaskis, Alberta today for the G7 Summit, where global trade and international peace and security are expected to top the agenda at a time when both are in turmoil. Karina Roman has more. The stakes are high for Canada. Prime Minister Mark Carney playing host amidst a global trade war instigated by US President Donald Trump,

the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the conflict in Gaza, and now Iran and Israel exchanging missiles. Carney has already tried to temper expectations. There will be no overall joint communique, and hopes have dimmed for a trade and security deal between Canada and the US coming out of this summit. Canada-US trade minister Dominic LeBlanc says it's unpredictable. All of a sudden this can start moving in a way that perhaps we didn't see so if on Sunday it looks like there's no agreement Monday night can suddenly be an agreement and if we think we made progress two weeks ago well two weeks later we haven't got the agreement we want.

Carney is expected to have a bilateral meeting with Trump early Monday morning before the Maine G7 leader talks. Karina Roman, CBC News, Banff, Alberta. We want to get this guy. That's Minnesota's Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar talking about the search for suspect Vance Luther Bolter. Police say he disguised himself as a police officer and shot two state legislators and their spouses yesterday.

Former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed. State Senator John Hoffman and his wife were wounded and are in hospital. A manifesto was found in Bolter's vehicle, including a long list of targets with the names of politicians, abortion advocates, and others. Klobuchar calls on all politicians to condemn political violence. People know that elected officials get threats. A lot of them you never hear about. Judges, election workers.

This has gotten totally out of hand. In 2016, there were like 1,700 of them. Last year, over 9,000 of hand. In 2016 there were like 1700 of them. Last year over 9,000 of them. Police initially thought Bolter was in the area of the two shootings but have now expanded their search. The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward and Klobuchar says extra security has been provided to her and other Minnesota leaders. The Oilers find themselves down three games to two in the Stanley Cup final. The Florida Panthers dominated game five with a final score of five to two. Head coach Chris Knobloch says getting down early

against the Panthers makes for a tough game but says the next one should be different. Knowing that we're in a difficult situation, win our last two games is something that we're confident that we can do that. We've been through difficult situations before and there's just another one that we'll overcome. The series returns to Florida for Game 6 on Tuesday.
