Death toll in Israel after Iran attack rises to three

The death toll in the city of Bat Yam near Tel Aviv as a result of an Iranian attack has risen to 3, Ynet reported, citing police.

Earlier, the state broadcaster Kan reported that at least 13 people were injured in a new rocket attack on central Israel. The number of casualties later exceeded 100. According to Kan, several rockets or debris fell on residential areas in the central region (including Tel Aviv and the suburbs). The Israeli police, together with rescuers and volunteers, are working at the sites of the crashes.

Earlier reports suggested that Iran had used at least one hypersonic missile. Iran's state broadcaster IRIB released footage of the Haifa strike, claiming that it was a hypersonic missile.

During the shelling, several shells hit the IDF headquarters, as confirmed by the Times of Israel and Western media. The American channel FOX reported that high-ranking Israeli officers were killed and wounded. The Israeli military headquarters (Kiryat) was "blown to pieces" (according to Western media).

According to American media reports, an entire block was "virtually wiped off the face of the earth." Several Israeli military commanders were killed (names withheld). It is noted that the Israeli skies were covered by NATO Patriot air defense systems.

Iran's missile strikes were a response to an Israeli operation in which Tel Aviv struck Tehran, Isfahan, Natanz and military bases. According to the information provided, command and research centers were destroyed, nuclear scientists were killed, as well as the head of the IRGC Hossein Salami and the Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Mohammad Bagheri.
