13 killed in Iranian attacks, Israel warns Iranians: Leave weapons manufacturing sites immediately.

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 in Bat Yam, near Tel Aviv, and wounded more than 200 others, in addition to a number of missing persons. Four women were also killed in the city of Tamra in the Galilee, bringing the death toll since Friday to 13.

The dead in Tamra are 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 Israeli military issued a warning to the Iranians, urging them to immediately evacuate weapons manufacturing facilities and surrounding areas until further notice, in preparation for targeting them. An Israeli security source said that this move is part of a pre-planned plan to pressure the Iranian regime by forcing residents to leave these sites, allegedly in response to the targeting of "Israel's home front."

The Tel Aviv area was among the hardest hit, with the mayor of Bat Yam confirming that the bombing damaged 61 buildings, including six that were rendered uninhabitable and will be completely demolished. Meanwhile, rescue teams continue their search under complex conditions for three missing persons, amid the threat of additional collapses in a building, a large portion of which has completely collapsed. Other parts remain suspended in the air, posing a danger to crews.

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, along with a major fuel depot in the capital. The Israeli military confirmed that it targeted the headquarters of the Iranian Ministry of Defense 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.
