Iran Missiles Kill 8 Israelis, Injures 100

Eight Israelis were killed and more than 100 injured as Iranian missiles struck central Israel in new attacks launched by Iran, Monday morning. Many of these missiles penetrated the Israeli defense systems and struck Tel Aviv and Haifa.

Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the Israeli death toll had risen to eight after three bodies were found in Haifa.

Earlier Monday morning, the Israeli Maariv daily quoted Israeli ambulance services as saying that four people were killed in the Iranian missile attack on Israel. The ambulance service said its crews were working at four sites where the missiles fell.

Israeli media reported that the number of people injured by Iranian missiles in the greater Tel Aviv area had risen to 103.

Israel Hayom, citing eyewitnesses, reported that the extent of the destruction in greater Tel Aviv was extensive. Haaretz also reported that some of the Iranian attacks targeted Israeli military sites as well as urban infrastructure.

The Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported the collapse of a building directly hit by an Iranian missile in the Tel Aviv area. It said that three people are still missing at a site in Haifa, and their lives are in danger. Channel 13 also confirmed that contact with the three people missing under the rubble in Haifa remains cut off as reported in Al Jazeera.
