A series of intense exchanges of fire between Israel and Iran continued into the early hours of Sunday, with the latter launching at least two rocket attacks on Israel, resulting in explosions reported in Haifa, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The extent of the damage remains unclear.
Concurrently, an oil depot in Iran was reportedly hit by Israel and the building of the Iranian Ministry of Defense was targeted. The Israeli military also announced the identification and destruction of rocket launchers in Iran overnight, followed by a series of attacks on storage and launch facilities in western Iran on Sunday morning.
According to the Israeli rescue services, at least seven people lost their lives in Israel overnight, with some media outlets reporting a higher number. In Iran, 78 fatalities were reported on Friday, with no official updates provided subsequently.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump issued a warning to Iran, stating that a attack on US facilities and personnel would be met with a force of unprecedented might from the US military. In a post on his Truth Social network, he wrote, “If we are attacked in any form by Iran, the entire strength and power of the US military will come crashing down on you with a force never seen before.
