Iran launched a new barrage of ballistic missiles<\/b> against urban areas in Israel<\/b>, including Jerusalem<\/b>, Tel Aviv<\/b>, and Haifa<\/b>, as part of its response to the Israeli air offensives initiated on Friday. The air defenses<\/b> intercepted a portion of the projectiles; however, there were hits in residential areas<\/b>, leading to alarm alerts and the evacuation of buildings. There were also reports of strong explosions in Jerusalem<\/b> during the early hours of the morning.<\/p>\n

Simultaneously, Israel intensified its aerial campaign<\/b> over Iranian territory. According to the Defense Forces (IDF), the attacks on Monday targeted ground-to-ground missile sites in central Iran<\/b> and command centers of the Quds Force<\/b>\u2014the external operations arm of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard\u2014located in Tehran<\/b>. Images released by regime media showed plumes of smoke rising over military installations, while the Iranian Health Ministry confirmed new casualties and structural damages.<\/p>\n

The Revolutionary Guards<\/b> called their strikes against Israel \u201ceffective and devastating operations<\/b>\u201d and warned that they would continue to strike \u201cvital targets<\/b>\u201d if Israel maintained its offensive. In response, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz<\/b> stated: \u201cThe residents of Tehran will pay the price, and soon<\/b>,\u201d which was interpreted as a direct warning of further retaliations against the Iranian capital.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in the affected cities, Israeli emergency teams<\/b> were working tirelessly among the rubble to locate possible survivors and transport the injured. In Tel Aviv<\/b>, several residential buildings were destroyed and dozens of vehicles were charred. The Magen David Adom service indicated that rescue operations were ongoing at least in two affected locations.<\/p>\n
