Ten Dead and 200 Injured in Overnight Iranian Attacks on Israel

Overnight attacks by Iran have resulted in at least ten fatalities and approximately two hundred injuries, according to the Israeli emergency service Magen David Adom. Air raid sirens sounded in multiple Israeli cities, with explosions reported in Bat Yam and Rehovot, where two rockets struck residential areas.

Israel retaliated with strikes on Iran, targeting the headquarters of the Iranian Defense Ministry in Tehran and sites associated with Iran's nuclear program. No casualties have been reported from these Israeli attacks, though Iranian state media mentioned rescue operations in Narmak, a Tehran neighborhood where a residential building was reportedly hit.

In Bat Yam, six deaths were confirmed, with seven people still missing. Rescue teams are searching through rubble, a task expected to take days due to extensive damage. In Tamra, a northern Israeli town, four women from the same family were killed. Palestinian-Israeli communities in the region lack public shelters, exacerbating the crisis.

Iran warned of escalating attacks if Israel continues its strikes, while Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that operations would persist for several days. The U.S. and Israel anticipate prolonged conflict, according to CNN sources.
