Aftermath of missile attack from Iran in Bat Yam

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.”

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.

Six members of Iran’s regular army were killed in an Israeli strike early Sunday on a military base in Sarpol-e Zahab, Kermanshah province, the Hengaw rights group reported.

Several others were injured. Videos circulating in Iranian media show heavy smoke and large explosions in Shiraz and Kermanshah.

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.
