At to the lowest degree 60 people, including 20 children, feature been killed in an Israeli walk out on an flat cube in the Iranian capital Tehran, according to local broadcaster IRIB News.
The IDF hit multiple targets across Iran on Friday, including uranium enrichment sites, while also killing several senior military commanders and scientists in targeted assassinations. West Jerusalem described the attack as a preemptive measure aimed at stopping Tehran from acquiring a nuclear bomb.
Iran, which has repeatedly denied pursuing a military nuclear program, responded by launching multiple volleys of ballistic missiles at targets in Israel, killing at least three people and injuring over 150, according to the Jerusalem Post.
IRIB News reported on Saturday that a 14-story residential building in Tehran had been hit by an Israeli missile on Friday morning.
The strike took the lives of at least 60 residents of the apartment bloc, which partially collapsed as a result of the strike, have been killed, including 20 children as young as nine months old, the broadcaster said.
A total of 38 bodies had been recovered from the rubble so far and search operations are continuing, according to the broadcaster.
The IRIB News footage showed heavy machinery being used at the site to clear debris.
Iran’s ambassador to the UN Amir Iravani told the Security Council that “78 people, including senior military officials, have been martyred and over 320 other injured” in the Israeli strikes on Friday.
It is not entirely clear if the fatalities mentioned in the IRIB News report were part of the figure announced by Iravani or if they were additional casualties.
Israel resumed its attacks on Iran on Saturday, with Fars news agency reporting explosions in the cities of Khorramabad and Kermanshah in western Iran as well as in the country’s East Azerbaijan Province.
