Live updates: Israel and Iran broaden attacks as conflict enters fourth day
Update: Date: 7 min ago Title: Israel and Iran traded another overnight barrage of strikes. Here's the latest Content: Iran launched a deadly barrage of missiles at Israel overnight, as the rapidly escalating hostilities between the two enter a fourth day with casualties rising and growing international calls for de-escalation. Here's what you need to know: Update: Date: 7 min ago Title: Israel says it struck Iranian Quds Force command centers Content: Israeli Air Force fighter jets have struck command centers belonging to the Quds Force, a clandestine wing of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said. 'In these command centers, Quds operatives advanced terrorist attacks against the State of Israel using the proxies of the Iranian Regime in the Middle East,' an IDF spokesperson said. An IDF video showed 10 sites it said were Quds and military targets it struck in Tehran. Some context: The Quds force is powerful unit within the IRGC that was formed during the Iraq-Iran war in the 1980s as its special intelligence unit. It's credited with taking the lead role in Iran's relations with armed groups in the Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and the Gaza strip, including Hezbollah and Hamas. The IRGC's commander, Hossein Salami, was killed in Israel's initial attacks on Iran on Friday. He has since been replaced by General Ahmed Vahidi. Update: Date: 7 min ago Title: Iranian strikes expose bomb shelter shortage for Palestinian towns inside Israel Content: In a small, tight-knit town near Haifa in northern Israel, residents here never thought they would experience such horror. Inhabited by Palestinian citizens of Israel, Tamra was left shaken after an Iranian missile struck a residential building late Saturday evening, killing four civilians, Israel's national emergency service Magen David Adom reported. The rocket struck a home belonging to the Khatib family, according to emergency responders. Manar Khatib, a local teacher, and her two daughters, Shatha, 13, and Hala, 20, as well as their relative Manar Diab, were all killed instantly. Manar's husband Raja and their youngest daughter Razan both survived. The morning after, the mood in the Lower Galilee town was somber, compounded by anger over a lack of adequate bomb shelters, an issue that Palestinian citizens of Israel have long warned was a glaring inequality that exists throughout their communities. Only 40% of Tamra's 37,000 residents have either a safe room or a functioning shelter, the town's mayor Musa Abu Rumi told CNN. And there are no bunkers or public shelters which are otherwise ubiquitous across most Israeli towns and cities. Read more about CNN's reporting on this disparity. Update: Date: 7 min ago Title: In pictures: Aftermath of Iranian missile strike in central Tel Aviv Content: As the sun rose over Israel on Monday, residents in Tel Aviv were left assessing the damage and looking for loved ones after Iran's overnight barrage of missiles. Update: Date: 8 min ago Title: Scenes of destruction and anxiety in Tel Aviv as Israelis wake to latest wave of Iranian strikes Content: CNN's Jerusalem Correspondent Jeremy Diamond saw Tel Aviv streets littered with debris as rescue and military personnel searched through rubble at a scene that appeared to have been struck by four ballistic missiles. One woman said she 'felt the impact' of the strikes from her basement, where she was hunkering down. 'We came out really slowly because we were scared,' she told Diamond, adding that 'buildings were falling as we walked.' 'It smelled like smoke… I had to cover my nose with my T-shirt. We had to walk down the street to make sure we weren't inhaling it,' she said. One of the residential buildings near the scene had partially collapsed and debris could be seen from blocks away, Diamond said, adding at least 10 people have been taken to hospital. People could be seen arriving to assess the damage and families and friends embracing one another, as the shock from the strikes adds to the anxiety of residents. 'This really is the worst violence that Tel Aviv has faced from missiles since at least the Gulf War in 1991 when the city was targeted by scud missiles,' Diamond said. He said it could have been a 'much deadlier scene' without the shelters that people were able to enter before the missile struck. 'Every single person who survived this attack, who we spoke to, was in some kind of bomb shelter or underground shelter at the moment of impact. That's because a couple hours before this missile struck, there was an early warning about a potential ballistic missile attack coming from Iran.'
