On Monday morning, Iran initiated a fresh series of missile attacks on Israel, resulting in the deaths of at least eight individuals and leaving dozens more injured, as reported by Israeli emergency services.

Among the casualties in the missile strikes targeting four locations in central Israel were four elderly individuals in their 70s — two men and two women, according to the Israeli Magen David Adom emergency service.

Besides those who lost their lives, the MDA reported that over 100 additional individuals were evacuated and taken to hospitals, including a 30-year-old woman in critical condition, while rescue teams continued efforts to locate people buried under the debris of demolished homes.

At least 224 people have been killed and roughly 1,300 have been wounded in Iran since Israel began its offensive on Friday, and the vast majority of casualties were civilians, according to Iran’s Ministry of Health.

Rights groups, such as the Washington-based Iranian advocacy group Human Rights Activists, have suggested that the Iranian government is undercounting the death toll. The group says it has documented more than 400 people killed, including 197 civilians.

Authorities in the central Israeli city of Petah Tikva said Iranian missiles had struck a residential building, charring concrete walls, shattering windows and pulling the walls off multiple apartments.

On Sunday, during an earlier wave of Iranian missiles on central Israel, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran will stop its strikes if Israel halts its attacks.

But after a day of intensive Israeli aerial attacks that extended targets beyond military installations to hit oil refineries and government buildings, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard pledged on Monday that additional rounds of strikes would be “more forceful, severe, precise and destructive than previous ones.”

Israel argues that its assault on Iran’s top military leaders, uranium enrichment sites and nuclear scientists was necessary to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Iran has maintained that its nuclear program is peaceful, and U.S. intelligence agencies and the International Atomic Energy Agency have said Iran was not pursuing a nuclear weapon.
