Early Sunday morning, air raid sirens echoed across multiple locations throughout Israel as Iranian missiles and drones were detected heading toward Israeli territory. In a separate incident, Israel’s air defenses successfully intercepted a missile launched from Yemen.
Tragedy struck in Bat Yam, just south of Tel Aviv, where three people, including a 10-year-old child, were killed on the spot following a missile strike.
The impact in Bat Yam left 103 people injured. Among them, four were listed in serious condition, six sustained moderate wounds, and 89 were treated for minor injuries. In Rehovot, another 37 individuals were injured—two seriously, 12 moderately, and 23 with lighter injuries. Medical crews and emergency responders rushed to the scenes, working tirelessly to locate and rescue anyone trapped beneath the rubble.
Simultaneously, Israeli air defense forces were engaged in intercepting incoming aerial threats in the North, as hostile aircraft approached the region.
While the country came under fire, the IDF reported that the Israeli Air Force had just concluded a significant wave of precision strikes in Tehran. The operation targeted critical sites tied to Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions, including the Iranian Ministry of Defense, the command center of the SPND nuclear program, and other key facilities connected to nuclear development and storage of nuclear archives. “The targets included the Iranian Ministry of Defense headquarters, the headquarters of the SPND nuclear project, and additional targets, which advanced the Iranian regime’s efforts to obtain a nuclear weapon and where the Iranian regime hid its nuclear archive.”
Earlier in the evening, as previously reported here on Matzav.com, devastation hit the town of Tamra in northern Israel, where a missile destroyed a residential building, killing four women—a mother, her two daughters, and another family member.
