Occupied Quds - Saba:
Israeli media reported on Sunday that six Israelis were killed and 240 injured, while 35 people remain missing under the rubble as a result of a new wave of Iranian missiles targeting central Israel. One missile struck the Weizmann Institute for Science and Research in the greater Tel Aviv area.
The Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported that the death toll from Iranian missiles falling in the latest wave of shelling on the city of Bat Yam in the greater Tel Aviv area in central Israel has risen to four.
For its part, Israel's Channel 12 reported that "the number of wounded from Iranian missile attacks has risen to 195, including five in critical condition."
Hebrew media outlets, including the Broadcasting Authority, had previously reported that three Israelis were killed and 136 injured in the Iranian shelling, before the toll rose.
Channel 12 added that "there are estimates of approximately 35 missing persons at the site of the Iranian missile strike in the city of Bat Yam, south of Tel Aviv."
This brings the death toll from Iranian shelling of Israel since Saturday evening to eight dead and 208 injured, according to Anadolu Agency's monitoring of Hebrew media reports.
Earlier Saturday evening, the Israeli Ambulance Service reported that four people were killed and 13 injured in the northern occupied territories as a result of Iranian missile strikes.
As part of the recent wave of bombing, Israeli public radio reported that dozens of homes and buildings were damaged by Iranian missiles falling on the city of Bat Yam, near Tel Aviv.
Hebrew media outlets, including Yedioth Ahronoth, reported that significant damage was caused to the Weizmann Institute for Science and Research in the city of Rehovot, near Tel Aviv, as a result of an Iranian missile directly hitting it.
Israel's Channel 12 reported that approximately 50 missiles were fired in the recent Iranian bombardment of Israel, noting that the sounds of explosions were heard intensely throughout the occupied territory.
Maariv newspaper reported that "six sites in and around Tel Aviv were directly hit by Iranian missiles."
Israel's Channel 14 reported that the Iranian missile attacks focused on the cities of Bat Yam and Rehovot in greater Tel Aviv.
Concurrently with the Iranian attack, Israel's Channel 14 reported that the army detected a ballistic missile being launched from Yemen toward central Israel.
In a later development, Israeli Army Radio reported that "air raid sirens were activated in the Negev, southern Israel, after a suspected drone infiltration."
At dawn on Friday, with tacit US support, Israel launched a large-scale attack on Iran with dozens of fighter jets, dubbed "Operation Rising Lion." The attack targeted nuclear facilities and missile bases in various areas, and assassinated prominent military commanders and nuclear scientists.
That evening, Iran responded to the attack with a series of ballistic missile and drone strikes, totaling eight waves, resulting in deaths and injuries, as well as significant material damage to buildings and vehicles.
Israeli media reported a "very serious incident" in Tel Aviv following an Iranian attack targeting a strategic site, without revealing further details due to strict military censorship and the blackout regulations imposed by the Israeli army.
