Iran has launched a missile series against Israel during Sunday night (15), while hostilities between the two countries quickly climb, entering the fourth day with the increase of lows and growing international appeals for the bastard of the conflict.
Iran has launched a new wave of missiles against central Israeli throughout the night, with sirens sounding and air defenses activated across the country, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
Several residential buildings were hit and explosions were seen around an oil refinery in the coastal city of Haifa.
The power grid in central Israel was also damaged. Iran sent “hundreds” of missiles aiming at residential buildings and infrastructure in Israel, according to Iranian media.
The light of day on Monday (16) brought more anxiety to the Israeli residents while evaluating the damage, with the authorities vasking the rubble and people hugging the streets. Tel Aviv photos show streets covered with debris, broken showcases and buildings and severely damaged cars.
Number of victims increases
At least eight people were killed in Israel by the night attacks, raising the number of Israeli dead to 23 since the beginning of hostilities. Meanwhile, at least 224 people in Iran were killed and 1.277 Hospitalized, most civilians, according to the Iranian authorities and the state media.
The army of Israel said that combat jets have reached command centers belonging to the QDS force, a clandestine wing of the revolutionary guard of Iran.
On Sunday, Israeli attacks aimed at Iran’s missile and military targets and killed the head of intelligence of the revolutionary guard.
Trump rejects murder plan
Two US employees told CNN That President Donald Trump rejected an Israeli plan to kill Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollae Ali Khamenei.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vehemently denied the reports of such a plan. Trump also said he wants to see an agreement between Israel and Iran and believes that “there is a good chance” that it happens, but also said that “sometimes they have to fight.”
Both Iran and Israel alerted residents of the other country to evacuate areas close to important military places for their own security.
Long rows of car appeared in gas stations in Tehran on Sunday, while terrified residents tried to leave the capital of Iran after days of Israeli attacks.
Oil prices continued to rise on Sunday, adding to the 7% increase in last week as the conflict threatens global oil supply.
