Iran fires fresh missiles amid ongoing Israeli airstrikes
They also killed key leaders in the country's governing theocracy. Israel said hundreds of airstrikes over the past two days killed nine senior scientists and experts involved in Iran's nuclear programme, in addition to several top generals. Iran's UN ambassador said 78 people were killed and more than 320 wounded.

First responders were looking for survivors and clearing the remnants of a missile which fell on a neighbourhood outside Tel Aviv early on Sunday morning. Responders used a drone to look for survivors in areas that were too hard to access. Some people were fleeing the area with their belongings in suitcases.

It alleged the sites were 'related to the Iranian regime's nuclear weapons project'. US intelligence agencies and the International Atomic Energy Agency have repeatedly said Iran was not pursuing a nuclear weapon before Israel unleashed its campaign of airstrikes on Friday. Three drones were launched toward a base housing US forces in Iraq following Israel's strikes on Iran, a US military official and a second US official said on Saturday. Both spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak publicly. The drones were shot down, the officials said. No group claimed responsibility for the attack on Ain al-Asad air base in western Iraq. Flames rise from an oil storage facility after it appeared to have been hit by an Israeli strike in Tehran, Iran (AP/Vahid Salemi) A network of powerful Iran-backed militias in Iraq has remained mostly quiet amid the escalating Israel-Iran conflict. In the past, the militias had periodically attacked US bases in Iraq and Syria in retaliation for Washington's support for Israel in its war against the Iran-allied Hamas militant group in Gaza. Also on Saturday, for the second day, supporters of armed factions in Iraq demonstrated in central Baghdad to denounce the Israeli bombing of Iran. The protesters did not attempt to breach the heavily fortified Green Zone where the US Embassy is located.
