Iranian media report new Israeli attacks on the west of the country on Monday, after Iranian strikes broke through Israel's iron Dome defences overnight.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Iran fired a new wave of missile attacks on Israel early Monday, killing at least five people, while Israel claimed in the fourth day of the conflict that it had now achieved “aerial superiority” over Tehran and could fly over the Iranian capital without facing major threats.

At least 24 people have been killed in Israel as Iran launched retaliatory airstrikes targeting civilian areas. A U.S. Embassy branch in Tel Aviv suffered minor damage.

The Israeli military claims its campaign has eliminated high-value targets, including nine senior scientists, and severely damaged Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. Iranian authorities confirmed damage to four critical buildings at the Isfahan uranium conversion facility,

In a small, tight-knit town near Haifa in northern Israel, residents here never thought they would experience such horror.

Israel's military spokesman said that the country’s air force has destroyed 120, or about one-third, of Iran’s surface-to-surface missile launchers since the beginning of its confrontation with Iran.

A volley of missiles launched by Iran killed eight people and injured nearly 100 in Israel on Monday as the conflict between the two countries entered its fourth day.

Israel has no intention of deliberately harming the residents of Tehran, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said, walking back earlier comments he had made on Monday.

The Iranian regime faces pressure as Israel strikes military targets, with Iranian Americans advocating for the overthrow of what one Iranian American describes as a "paper tiger regime."

The Israeli military said that its air force has struck a number of command centers of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. It said that the command centers, which were in Tehran, were used to direct proxy groups to launch attacks against Israel.
