Iran war live: Tehran launches new wave of missiles towards Israel amid fears London under threat

First responders pictured in the aftermath of an attack of the city of Arad, Israel which has wounded 100 people.

Among the injured, were a 12-year-old boy and a five-year-old girl, both reported to be in serious condition.

In a message on X, Benjamin Netanyahu said: ‘Just a short while ago, I spoke with the Mayor of Arad, Yair Maayan, and asked him to convey, on behalf of all Israeli citizens, our prayers for the peace of the injured.

‘I have instructed the Director General of my office to provide all the necessary assistance together with all government ministries.

‘I strengthen the emergency and rescue forces operating in the field right now, and I call on everyone to heed the instructions of the Home Front Command.

‘We are determined to continue to strike our enemies on all fronts.’

Israel’s military said it was not able to intercept missiles that hit the southern cities of Dimona and Arad, the largest near the center in Israel’s sparsely populated Negev desert. It was the first time Iranian missiles penetrated Israel’s air defense systems in the area around the nuclear site.

Rescue workers said the direct hit in Arad caused widespread damage across at least 10 apartment buildings, three of them badly damaged and in danger of collapsing.

The Israeli Health Ministry has reported that 303 people have been taken to hospitals as a result of the conflict with Iran and Hezbollah.

More than 10 were in a serious condition. A total of 4,564 people have been taken to hospital since the start of the conflict.

84 were injured in strikes on Southern Israel last night by Iran.

The Israeli military said on Sunday it was striking Tehran just hours after Iran’s attacks on southern Israel.

The IDF said a strategic research and development facility belonging to the Iranian military was struck by an Israeli missile.

It said the Malek-ashtar’ University facility was utilized by the Iranian terror regime’s military industries and ballistic missiles array to develop nuclear weapon components and weapons.

The University is under Western sanctions over its activities relating to Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs

Tehran fired long-range missiles for the first time on Saturday, expanding the risk of attacks beyond the Middle East, while an Iranian strike landed near Israel’s secretive nuclear reactor about 13 km (8 miles) southeast of Dimona.

Iran launched two ballistic missiles with a range of 4,000 km (2,500 miles) at the U.S.-British ‌military base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, said Israeli military chief Eyal Zamir.

‘These missiles are not intended to strike Israel. Their range reaches European capitals – Berlin, Paris, and Rome are all within direct threat range,’ Zamir said in a statement.

President Trump has threatened to destroy Iran’s power plants if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened within 48 hours.

Iran warned on Sunday it would target US energy infrastructure, if Trump carried out his threat.

Trump made the threat as US Marines and heavy landing craft continue to head to the region.

More than 2,000 people have been killed during the war the US and Israel launched on February 28, which has upended markets, spiked fuel costs, fueled global inflation fears and convulsed the postwar Western alliance.

Trump posted on social media:’If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!’
