Israeli rescuers say latest Iran strikes kill five, wound 92
Israel's Magen David Adom emergency service said five people were killed and 92 wounded Monday in Iran's latest missile strikes on the country, raising a previous toll of four deaths. The casualties were from strikes on four sites in central Israel, the MDA said in a statement, adding those killed included "two women and two men around the age of 70, as well as one additional fatality". "So far, MDA teams have evacuated 92 injured individuals to hospitals, including a 30-year-old woman in serious condition with facial injuries, six in moderate condition, and 85 in mild condition," it added. The MDA said search and rescue operations were ongoing at two of the four sites. Iran unleashed a barrage of missile strikes on Israeli cities early Monday, after Israel struck military targets deep inside Iran, with both sides threatening further devastation. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz had warned on Monday that Tehran's residents would "pay the price" for Iranian strikes on Israeli civilians.

Tensions Escalate as Israel and Iran Exchange Fire for Third Straight Day
A drone strike hit the Tehran Police Headquarters on Sunday, as tensions between Israel and Iran intensified, marking the third consecutive day of military exchanges between the two nations. Iranian news agency ISNA reported that the strike, attributed to Israel, caused minor damage and injured several police personnel. The attack reportedly targeted the police command center in central Tehran, sparking a loud blast that was felt across the area. Local media, including Tasnim news agency, released videos showing thick smoke rising near Valiasr Square — one of Tehran's busiest areas — with broken glass and debris scattered on the streets. Witnesses described scenes of confusion and emergency teams rushing to the site. Meanwhile, Iran launched another round of missile attacks towards Israel, according to state broadcaster IRNA, which called it 'a new wave' of strikes. This came in response to earlier Israeli air and drone assaults. In Israel, sirens were heard in multiple regions, including Jerusalem, prompting the military to urge citizens to seek shelter. Shortly afterward, the Israeli military said the threat had been managed and that people could safely leave protected areas. "At this time, the air force is intercepting and striking where necessary to eliminate the threat," the army said in a statement. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Iran would pay a "very heavy price" for attacks that caused civilian casualties in Israel. No further details were provided on the extent of the damage or injuries from the latest missile strikes. The situation remains volatile, with both sides continuing to trade fire, raising fears of a wider regional conflict.
