Six Iranian army personnel killed in Israeli strike on Kermanshah - Hengaw

A residential zone on the southern edge of Narmak’s Sixth Square in eastern Tehran was struck in an Israeli attack, according to local reports.

Images show significant damage to apartment buildings caused by the airstrike.

Iran has launched approximately 280 ballistic missiles at Israel since Friday, according to the Israeli military.

While most were intercepted by air defenses, the IDF said dozens were deliberately allowed through to strike open areas, avoiding damage to critical infrastructure.

Casualties and destruction have nonetheless mounted as Iranian strikes target civilian zones.

Rescue teams say four of the seven people initially reported missing after Iran’s missile strike on a residential building in Bat Yam have been found hospitalized.

Six people were killed and dozens injured in the attack. Searches for the remaining three continue.

Israeli airstrikes hit military targets in Kermanshah early Sunday, Iran’s ISNA news agency reported.

Earlier, separate reports confirmed strikes on Shiraz Electronics Industries and a Defense Ministry-linked facility in Isfahan.

The Israeli army earlier issued an urgent warning for Iranian civilians to evacuate areas near military sites.

The Dutch embassy in Tehran has temporarily closed its doors to the public due to escalating security risks following Israeli airstrikes on Iran, the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Saturday.

Embassy staff will remain on duty to monitor developments and safeguard Dutch interests, a statement said.

The ministry has activated crisis response teams and continues to advise Dutch citizens against travel to both Iran and Israel.

The travel advisory for Iran has been in effect since October 2022, while Israel was added to the red alert list last Friday.
