Iran strikes Israel with new missile, drone attack; Israel bombs Tehran
(Al Jazeera Media Network) Israel and Iran have carried out a new wave of attacks on key cities, fuelling fears of an all-out sustained war, with heavy exchanges now entering a third day.
Iranian missiles struck northern Israel, killing at least three people and wounding 13 others, late Saturday into Sunday, according to Israeli media.
Israel targeted the Iranian defence ministry headquarters in Tehran early Sunday, according to the Tasnim news agency.
Iranian officials also said the Shahran oil depot, northwest of Tehran, was struck by Israel. Tasnim News said operational and rescue forces arrived at the scene and are still working to extinguish the fire.
More videos posted to social media, and verified by Al Jazeera’s Sanad, showed Iranian missiles in the skies of northern Israel.
Israel’s Channel 13 reported that missiles hit Haifa and nearby Tamra. The attack on Haifa was widely anticipated, as the coastal city hosts strategic gas infrastructure. Analysts suggest this marks the beginning of Iran’s promised retaliation for the Israeli bombardment of key energy sites near Bushehr and Abadan.
