US Airstrikes Kill over 25 in Iranian Cities, Tehran Missiles Hit Center of Israel
Dubai. Airstrikes on cities across Iran have killed more than 25 people Sunday into Monday, while in Israel's Haifa, two people were found dead and two others were missing in rubble a day after an Iranian attack.
US President Donald Trump on Sunday stepped up his threat to hit Iran's critical infrastructure hard if the country's government doesn’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz by his Tuesday deadline.
Trump punctuated his threat with profanity in a social media post, saying Tuesday will be “Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran.”
On Monday morning, Israeli rescue services reported that several sites were hit by missiles launched from Iran toward multiple cities in the center of Israel.
The missile strikes come a day after another attack from Iran also hit a Haifa residential area, killing two people and injuring others.
In Petah Tikva, paramedics provided medical treatment to an injured woman in serious condition with a chest injury from shrapnel and evacuated her to the Beilinson Hospital.
Firefighters in that city are handling cars on fire and continue searching to ensure there are no people trapped in the rubble.
In Tel Aviv, a man slightly injured by glass shrapnel was evacuated to the Ichilov Hospital.
Footage provided by the rescue service Magen David Adom shows damage to residential buildings due to the attack.
Meanwhile, Israel’s military warned the public of another missile barrage coming from Iran, the fourth such alert of the day.
An Iranian drone attack also damaged a telecommunications building in Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates on Monday, the state-run WAM news agency reported.
The attack targeted a building of the state-funded telecom company. No one was injured, WAM reported, quoting officials in Fujairah.
The war began with joint US-Israel strikes on Iran on Feb. 28 and has killed thousands, shaken global markets, cut off key shipping routes and spiked fuel prices. Both sides have threatened and hit civilian targets, bringing warnings of possible war crimes from the United Nations and international law experts.
