Egypt Daily News – The Israeli Home Front Command reported on Monday morning that 24 people have been killed since the start of Iranian attacks three days ago, noting that most of the casualties occurred while the victims were outside designated shelters.

According to the Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, the Home Front Command stated that Iran has launched 350 missiles so far, with an estimated 5% to 10% landing in open areas.

It added that Iran typically fires between 30 to 60 missiles per strike, with most missiles directed at the cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa. The report noted that the missiles weigh around half a ton each.

Earlier, Tasnim News Agency reported that upcoming attacks will see increased use of hypersonic missiles to ensure penetration of air defenses.

In a post on its official page on the X platform (formerly Twitter) on Monday morning, the agency stated that “the Revolutionary Guard used high-speed missiles with significant destructive power in the recent attack on Israel.”

The confrontation between Israel and Iran entered its fourth day, marked by a new wave of strikes that Tehran described as “the strongest and most destructive yet,” while Israeli sources confirmed that at least 8 people were killed and dozens injured.

Israeli media documented widespread destruction caused by Iranian missiles in various areas, including Tel Aviv and Haifa, and reported that authorities are investigating a “serious incident” inside a fortified room in Petah Tikva, central Israel.

Officials from the Israeli Ministry of Defense mentioned a continued reduction of forces in Gaza in order to reinforce the northern and eastern borders, fearing involvement from Iran-aligned groups.

In a significant escalation, the Israeli military targeted the airport in the northeastern Iranian city of Mashhad, claiming strikes on the Ministry of Defense headquarters, nuclear weapons development facilities, and fuel depots in Tehran.
