Children are among the at least 13 people who have died in Israel following Iran‘s barrage of missiles it sent in the latest round of escalating strikes between the two nations.
Iran said Israel struck two oil refineries near Tehran overnight, as well as the headquarters of Iran’s Ministry of Defence, while Israel said that the death toll had risen to 10, as emergency workers frantically sift through rubble to try and find injured people.
An estimated 200 people in Israel were injured by the strikes. Israeli Raja Khateeb, his wife, and their three daughters were all reportedly among those killed in the Iranian strike on the town of town of Tamra, near Haifa.
Iran’s ambassador to the UN said that by Friday evening, Israeli strikes had killed 78 and left over 320 wounded. Yesterday, Iran said that 60 people, including 29 children were killed after an Israeli missile brought down a 14-storey block of flats. Separately, the governor of Iran’s East Azerbaijan province said 30 troops and one rescuer were killed, while a further 55 were left wounded.
The region braced for a protracted conflict after Israel‘s surprise bombardment of Iran’s nuclear and military sites on Friday killed several top generals and nuclear scientists, and neither side showed any sign of backing down.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that the attacks on Israel will end when its ‘aggression stops.’
He also accused the UN Security Council of ‘indifference’ over Israel’s attacks on Tehran.
He claimed in a meeting with foreign diplomats that Western governments have ‘condemned Iran instead of Israel despite it being the side that was violated.’
