13 killed in Israeli attacks since Friday

The region witnessed an unprecedented escalation early Sunday morning, with Iran launching new rounds of missiles at targets inside Israel. The attacks killed 10 people, including six men in Bat Yam, adjacent to Tel Aviv, and wounded more than 200 others. Four women were also killed in the city of Tamra in the Galilee.

The dead in Tamra were Manar Qassem Abu Al-Haija Khatib (40 years old), her two daughters Shaza and Hala Khatib (20 and 13 years old), and their relative Manar Fakhri Diab Khatib (40 years old), while other people were injured as a result of a rocket falling on the night of Saturday - Sunday.

The Tel Aviv area was among the hardest hit, with the mayor of Bat Yam confirming that more than 20 people are still missing under the rubble of a building that sustained a direct hit. He added that the bombing damaged 61 buildings, including six that were rendered uninhabitable and will be completely demolished. Meanwhile, rescue teams continue their searches under complex conditions.

Meanwhile, Israel launched large-scale attacks on Tehran and other areas. The Iranian Ministry of Defense announced that one of its administrative buildings and a research center had been bombed, in addition to targeting a major fuel depot in the capital.

The Israeli military confirmed that it targeted the Iranian Defense Ministry headquarters and sites linked to the "nuclear weapons project" infrastructure, as part of the ongoing exchange of attacks between the two sides for the third consecutive day.

In the latest developments, Israeli police Ayalon District Commander Daniel Haddad said the death toll from the attack on Bat Yam has reached 6 dead, 180 injured, and 7 missing. He noted that "entire streets were destroyed, and we combed every apartment and flat."

On Sunday morning, the Israeli government submitted a request to approve a temporary settlement aimed at facilitating the identification of missing persons. The settlement will be effective until July 13.

The Israeli army also announced on Sunday morning that "seven Iranian drones were intercepted within the last hour."

In this context, Yahya Saree, spokesman for the Ansar Allah group (Houthis), announced on Sunday that the group had carried out a military operation targeting "sensitive enemy targets" in the Jaffa area.

He added that this operation came within the framework of joint coordination with attacks carried out by the Iranian army against what he described as the "enemy," stressing that the operation has a strategic nature in the context of the escalating regional response.
