10 Killed and Over 385 Injured in Iranian Strikes

The death toll from the recent escalation between Iran and Israel has risen to 10 people, with more than 385 injuries reported since last night, including seven in critical condition, according to the Israeli Ministry of Health. The Hebrew news site "News1" indicated that among the injured, there are 40 with moderate injuries and 298 with minor injuries in the recent attacks.
The ministry added that 12 people have died over the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of fatalities since the start of the Iranian strikes to 15. Iran began launching new rounds of rockets toward targets inside Israel at dawn today, causing widespread destruction of homes and buildings and claiming civilian lives, along with numerous injuries.
In response, Tehran was subjected to Israeli retaliatory attacks. Hebrew media reported that the death toll in Beit Yam and Tel Aviv increased to 6, with around 240 people wounded. In the same context, Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, stated that the attacks are ongoing and emphasized that expanding the conflict to include the Gulf is a major strategic mistake.
The head of Beit Yam’s municipality reported that there are more than 20 people missing under the rubble of a building hit directly by an Iranian missile. He also pointed out that 61 buildings were damaged due to the attacks. In his comments, the commander of the Israeli Home Front described last night as difficult for Israel, while opposition leader Yair Lapid said the conditions tonight were among the hardest.
On the other hand, Iranian news agency "Fars" reported that an administrative building affiliated with the Ministry of Defense was struck by an Israeli missile, and also that a major fuel depot in Tehran was targeted in Iranian attacks, reflecting an escalation in the confrontation between the two sides.
