Iran Keeps up Missile Barrage on Israeli Cities on Fourth Day of Conflict

The Israel military says it has now โ€˜achieved full air supremacy in the Tehran airspaceโ€™.

Iran fired more missiles into Israel in the early hours of Monday, with emergency services reporting at least five people killed and 87 wounded, as the conflict shows no sign of abating.

Israeli emergency service Magen David Adom said in a June 16 statement posted on the social media platform X that two women and two men, all in their 70s, were killed along with another person in missile attacks that struck four sites in central Israel.

The U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, said on X there was some minor damage to the consulate in Tel Aviv after an Iranian missile strike nearby.

Huckabee later clarified on X, โ€œThere were NO INJURIES to US Personnel at US Embassy Branch–the minor damage to property were from the shock waves (i.e. โ€concussionsโ€œ) from the nearby blast. Not human concussions.โ€

The ambassador encouraged the 700,000 Americans living in Israel to monitor the U.S. embassy website for advice on travel and safety.

Tehran said it had launched around 100 missiles, and said it would continue to retaliate after Israeli air attacks and drone strikes hit Iran.

On Sunday night and into Monday morning, Iranian missiles hit Israeli cities like Tel Aviv and Petah Tikva, triggering a massive response from Israelโ€™s air defense umbrella, which includes the Iron Dome, Davidโ€™s Sling, and The Arrow.

Shortly before dawn, Tel Aviv was rocked by several explosions, which may have been air defense systems intercepting incoming missiles.

The Israeli authorities said Iranian missiles had hit a residential building in Petah Tikva, shattering windows and damaging the walls of the apartment block.

Israeli police spokesman Dean Elsdunne, speaking outside the apartment block in Petah Tikva, said, โ€œWe clearly see that our civilians are being targeted. And this is just one scene. We have other sites like this near the coast, in the south.โ€

The Iranian Ministry of Health claims at least 224 people have been killed in the country since Friday, including the commander of the Iranian Armed Forces, Maj. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, and the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Maj. Gen. Hossein Salami.

The Israeli military said on Monday that its fighter jets struck command centers in Tehran belonging to Iranโ€™s Quds Force, an elite unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Iranโ€™s state-owned news agency said on Monday that the IRGC held a press conference in which it announced the head of its intelligence organization, Mohammad Kazemi, had been killed along with two colleagues, Hassan Mohaqeq and Mohsen Baqeri, during Israeli airstrikes on Sunday.

The IRGC said its aerospace force was targeting intelligence centers in Israel.
