The Israeli military reported multiple waves of attacks. At least two people were killed and dozens injured, according to Israeli media.
Rescuers in the Gush Dan area, on the Mediterranean coast, said 34 people had been wounded, including a woman who later died of her injuries, AFP reported.
Israel also continued its operation against Iran, targeting military sites, while countering Iranian missiles across the country overnight.
The “Air Force continues to attack targets to eliminate a threat in Iranian territory,” said the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF).
Iranian state television said Iranian forces shot down Israeli reconnaissance drones in the northwest of the country.
The military escalation began on Friday when Israel carried out an unprecedented attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities and senior military commanders. Several of Iran’s top military men were killed. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the operation aimed to “roll back the Iranian threat to Israel’s very existence” and warned it could last for days.
The attack has drawn condemnation from regional countries, while many Western nations have voiced concern over the escalating tensions and the risk of a wider conflict.
After the back-and-forth strikes, United Nations chief Antonio Guterres called for the two nations to cease fire. "Enough escalation. Time to stop. Peace and diplomacy must prevail," he wrote on X early Saturday morning.
