Israel’s Death Toll Rises To 25, Hundreds Injured in Iran Strikes
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent
TEHRAN/JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – Iranian missiles triggered sirens across northern Israel on Monday after the death toll of previous strikes launched by Tehran and its Houthi allies in Yemen rose to at least 25, with hundreds injured, officials said.
Israel’s Home Front Command said the rockets launched late Monday “failed to strike any targets.” Israel’s leading rescue service, Magen David Adom (MDA), explained there were no reported casualties from the attack, adding that there were “a few minor injuries” individuals sustained en route to a bomb shelter.
This was the second time since Iran’s assault on Israel that missiles from the Islamic Republic missed their targets, Israeli officials said.
On Sunday, a missile barrage from Iran did not hit any targets in the North because the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) shot down all ballistic missiles that were going to strike Israel, Israeli officials said.
Others reportedly fell short, given the roughly 1,500-kilometer (932-mile) range they must travel from Iran.
However, previous strikes killed numerous Israelis, the Israeli military acknowledged.
“We are entering the fourth day, after another challenging night. At 4:00 a.m., there was another barrage of about 40 rockets, which resulted in eight deaths and 95 wounded. A central site in Petah Tikva saw four killed, Haifa saw three killed, and one was killed in Bnei Brak,” the military explained.
MANY CASUALTIES
“In total, we are standing at 24 civilian casualties, and we are still making an effort in Bat Yam to locate a missing person. I estimate that in the coming hours, we will also find her body, and the death toll will rise to 25.”
Additionally, nearly 600 people were reportedly wounded while several homes were damaged.
With missile attacks ongoing, authorities switched off the Global Positioning System (GPS) to the public, impacting traffic and other applications, apparently due to security concerns.
Officials said the location of bomb shelters would be communicated differently.
Tehran said the missiles it fired were in response to Israel attacking its nuclear, military, and civilian sites.
Yet U.S. President Donald J. Trump made Tehran a “last chance” offer to avoid even more destruction by Israel’s military, U.S. and European officials said.
One official told The Jerusalem Post newspaper that it might be slightly better than the previous proposal the administration submitted to Iran about a week and a half ago.
URANIUM CONCERNS
Yet there were no indications that Washington would walk away from its demand that Tehran halt its uranium enrichment to weapons-grade levels.
Tehran says its nuclear program is peaceful, but Israel believes the country will soon be able to have numerous atomic weapons.
Amid the standoff, Iran has asked Oman and Qatar to mediate with the Trump administration to halt Israeli attacks and resume negotiations on its nuclear program, Israeli sources said.
Saudi Arabia is also working behind the scenes through a separate channel to promote a ceasefire, The Jerusalem Post reported.
Trump confirmed earlier on Monday that Iran had reached out to the U.S. in an attempt to stop Israeli strikes. “It looks like Iran isn’t winning this war. They need to talk before it’s too late,” Trump said in Alberta, Canada, where the Group of Seven (G7) summit of the leading Western economies is being held.
In addition to Canada and the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom are members of the club, along with the European Union as a “non-enumerated member.”
