At least five people were killed and 92 others wounded after Iran launched a fresh missile barrage targeting central Israel. The Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency service confirmed the casualties, which included elderly civilians—two women and two men in their 70s—as well as another fatality. Rescue teams are still working at two of the four attack sites, searching for survivors amid the destruction.
The strikes mark a significant escalation in hostilities between Iran and Israel, with Tehran reportedly employing a “new method” in its latest assault. Among the injured is a 30-year-old woman in serious condition with facial injuries, while six others are moderately hurt, and 85 sustained minor wounds. The death toll from Iranian attacks on Israel has now risen to 18.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a stern warning, declaring that the people of Tehran would “pay the price” for targeting Israeli civilians. The statement signals a potential Israeli counterstrike, raising fears of further violence in the region. Global leaders are urging de-escalation as tensions reach a dangerous peak.
The international community remains on high alert, with concerns growing over the possibility of a wider conflict. As rescue efforts continue, the world watches anxiously, hoping for a diplomatic resolution to prevent further loss of life. The latest attacks underscore the volatile nature of Iran-Israel relations, with no immediate signs of reconciliation.
