since that unprecedented attack, israel has vowed to retaliate. we turn to matt gutman, who is in israel with the latest reporting. matt, what are you hearing? >> reporter: juju, a senior u.s. official telling us that israeli missiles have hit at least one site inside iran. no reports yet on casualties or what specifically this site was. as you mentioned, israel has been telegraphing that it will respond. officials telling me at the time and place of their choosing. they did not specify what that response will be like. didn't know when it would it would come. and of course, this is in response to that massive missile salvo from last saturday, the largest ballistic missile salvo in history. and, of course, iran has said that if israel chooses to respond, the iranian response would be severe and immediate. >> juju matt, thank you from the latest in israel. it's turned now to chief global affairs anchor martha raddatz in dc with the latest. martha, what are you hearing?

>> it is a single senior us official who said that it had started that israel had retaliated and hit one site in iran. there are reports this evening that other places, iraq and syria have been hit. this us senior official said they simply cannot confirm that. there were reports yesterday that israel would would hold off on these strikes until after the passover. after passover. but today we started getting indications that it could come much quicker than that. the senior official also said the israelis have been quite secretive about this, so there's very little information we have at this point about the strike that the us senior official said that israel had made inside iran. >> well, martha raddatz, thank you for that update. of course, we will return to our regular reporting. reporting. this has been a special report. stay tuned, of course, for the latest updates. and we return you now

to your regular programing. >> thank you juju. we'll keep you updated on that situation in the middle east. but let's come back here now and focus on our weather. yes, let's get to meteorologist sandhya patel for another check. >> sandhya. yeah. ama and dan. let's take a look at the winds. right now. it is onshore and it is gusty right now. sustained to 26 in san francisco, sfo 20. and that is blowing some of that tree pollen around which is running high oak, pine, juniper and cedar grasses are up there as well. taking a look at the forecast for tonight, it is going to cool off rather quickly. not so much inland, 73 degrees and then dropping to the low 60s late tonight. but around the bay where the marine layer has really started to redevelop and regroup. and along the coast you're going to go from the 50s to the low 50s. and a look at live doppler seven. we have fog, we have high clouds. tomorrow afternoon. it's even cooler than today, upper 50s to the mid 70s. as we check out what's ahead for the weekend, it will warm up both saturday and sunday, but some morning fog and drizzle to start your saturday. here's your

accuweather seven day forecast. we'll bring you nicer weather for the weekend if you do miss the warmth. and then next week you're going to notice a big drop off in those temperatures. midweek, we may even introduce some rain late in the workweek. dan an ama man. >> all right. goodness. thanks, eddie. >> all right. >> we have casey pratt in for sports tonight. hey, casey. yeah? >> it seems like there's more questions than answers around the warriors right now, right? but you know, the season is over. so what about the big three? will klay be back as the end of theynasty here. the warriors brass weighs in and trie

years deep runs into the postseason that we're used to them being forced to turn the page right away. once the season ends, the nba draft is right after the nba finals, so typically the dubs don't have the luxury of time to figure out their next steps. but with this season's early end, they have months now to figure things out. primary questions will include what to do about unrestricted free agent klay thompson. can draymond green find a way to keep his temper under control and be more available? can you find a trade partner for the inconsistent andrew wiggins? what to do with chris paul and his expiring $30 million deal? and with the dynasty on a downslope how do you support the big three? >> well considering they've won four before, i would say it's

well within the realm of reasonable, but we gotta, you know, certainly we want klay back first and foremost. i expressed that to him yesterday. i think our players have expressed that our coaches front office ownership. look everybody wants klay back. he's still a really good player. and i think we have enough good players in our system. we have enough assets to acquire good players and we have the ability to keep getting better. so given that, as long as those guys are still really good, like, yeah, we can, i think we can contend and compete, but we just unequivocally have to improve. >> you know, the discussion of those three is, to me is a much easier discussion than when they're still good, which they are. they all showed that this year, so maybe in a couple of years we'll be having this discussion where, you know, they're not as effective and maybe it becomes more of a ceremonial thing. i do think there's tremendous value in the three of them being warriors for life. it matters that kobe was a

laker for life, that that's meaningful to the laker franchise. i think it would be incredible if these three guys could play their whole careers here. that's meaningful matters to our fans. it matters to our franchise. so i hope it happens. but fortunately right now they're they're all still good. hopefully they can keep that core together. >> now the oakland ballers continue to move at warp speed. the upstart oakland baseball team just received unanimous approval to finish their $1.6 million investment into historic raymond park. the upgrades were already underway as the team bet on oakland and started the work ahead of official approval. the new field and scoreboard, along with the new seating, will be available for community use when the team is not playing. my baller sources tell me the grass for the field is going in next week. their first game there will be in june and emotions were high last night in arizona. the coyotes played their final game before being moved to salt lake city. fans have been enjoying desert dogs hockey for 27 years now. both the fans and players are left in a lurch. >> this is people's lives here

and, you know what they love to do. and obviously coyotes are a big part of that. so it's unfortunate, it's sad. and you just tried to give back as much as possible. >> it's the little things for players like us like i don't know where to live or things like that, where a practice facility will be or how it's going to work. so i think these next couple days will get some answers and figure things out. >> this abc seven sports report is sponsored by your northern california honda dealers. and just like the a's situation as they move to sacramento and then maybe las vegas after that, it's not just the players and fans that suffer, it's the employees at the arenas. i mean, these guys don't even know where they're going to live next year, where they're going to practice, where they're going to play. so it just leaves so much in question is really when you really think about how disruptive it is to everybody. >> it's all right. thanks, casey . >> all right. tonight on abc seven it is three hours of 911, followed by abc seven news at 11. and remember that abc seven news is streaming 24 seven. get the abc seven bay area app so you can join us whenever you
