Iran fired 70 ballistic missiles and dozens of drones in three waves overnight, the Israeli military said.
One missile hit a home in Tamra, killing four civilians; another struck Bat Yam, killing at least six and injuring nearly 200; a third landed in Rehovot, wounding 40.
Despite the scale, the IDF said the attack remains below its reference scenario for an Iran war, which anticipates higher casualties and damage.
