Iranian state television reported that Iranian forces launched dozens of missiles and drones targeting Tel Aviv, Haifa, and other cities. The report claimed that several of the missiles penetrated multiple layers of Israel's air defense systems.

In response, Israeli airstrikes caused significant damage across several locations in Iran, including a direct hit on the Foreign Ministry building. A deputy foreign minister in Iran accused Israel of intentionally targeting the ministry, which resulted in injuries to several civilians.

Iran confirmed the deaths of key military figures during the Israeli strikes, including Mohammad Kazemi, the head of intelligence for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), along with Hassan Mohagegh, deputy head of the intelligence unit, and Mohsen Bagheri, a senior military commander.

In Israel, emergency medical service Magen David Adom reported at least 10 minor injuries in Haifa. Further south, authorities evacuated nine patients from a hospital to a secure location due to the threat of additional strikes.

Iran also stated that since the Israeli offensive began on Friday, a total of 224 people have been killed and more than 1,277 injured in Iran, highlighting the escalating human toll of the conflict.

As the exchanges intensify, there appears to be no immediate sign of de-escalation between the two longtime adversaries, raising serious concerns about the broader regional implications.
