Israel and Iran on Saturday pounded more missiles and sent drones on each other’s targets causing unspecified casualties and damage.
As Iran launched missile attacks against Israel, sirens in most parts and loud explosions were heard in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. According the media reports, the Iranian missiles targeted positions in Tiberias, Golan and Lower Galilee also. Video footages showed a couple of buildings in Israel reduced to rubbles after the fierce Iranian attacks. Two people were killed and scores injured in these drone and missile attacks in Israel.
Israel Defence Minister Israel Katz warned that Tehran will burn and its residents will pay dearly if Iran continues its air strikes against civilian targets.
On the other hand, Iran has also threatened to launch attacks on US and others if they tried to intervene in the conflict.
Behrouz Kamalvandi, the spokesperson for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (A.E.O.I.), claimed that Israeli attacks on nuclear infrastructure caused no loss of life.
Israeli strikes have caused only limited surface damage to affected sites in Natanz, Fordo, and Isfahan, Kamalvandi told Iranian local media on Friday.
He claimed that key nuclear installations were safe. “Much of the critical equipment and material had been relocated to secure facilities in anticipation of potential threats,” he said.
Highlighting Iran’s technical capabilities and the dedication of its nuclear experts, Kamalvandi said that all damages would be swiftly repaired, potentially improving the original infrastructure.
Overnight on Friday, the Israeli regime began a series of military strikes in and near the Iranian capital, Tehran, as well as other Iranian cities. In a major escalation, the Tel Aviv regime also targeted residential buildings in and near Tehran.
The Israeli military also carried out targeted strikes against Iran’s top military brass. Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Bagheri and Chief Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami were among the senior military officials assassinated in Tehran, Iranian media said.
