Iran to convert mosques, schools, and subways into shelters, officials say

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.

Newly appointed army chief Major General Amir Hatami pledged continued retaliation against Israel in a statement following his promotion.

Thanking the Supreme Leader for his trust, Hatami said Iranian forces responded from the first moments of Israel’s assault and would deliver “decisive and effective blows” to what he called the “illegitimate and child-killing Zionist regime.”

Seven members of Revolutionary Guards Aerospace Force were killed alongside the commander Amirali Hajizadeh in Israeli strikes early Friday, the IRGC’s public relations office confirmed Sunday.

The slain officers include Mahmoud Bagheri, Davoud Shekhian, Mohammad Bagher Taherpour, Mansour Safarpour, Masoud Tayyeb, Khosrow Hassani, and Javad Jarsara.

Footage received Sunday shows heavy smoke rising over Tehran following a strike on the Shahr-e Rey refinery complex.

The extent of damage or casualties is not yet confirmed, but the video suggests a significant fire at the site.
