"I'm at the site of a missile strike in Tel Aviv and you can see behind me here there's actually a big crater in the ground where the missile hit and the building behind me is absolutely destroyed. This entire area is completely massively hit. You can see the first responders. They are trying to help the wounded. There are dozens of wounded here, but there's also someone who was killed, they say."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Sam Mednick, The Associated Press:
"Now this is just the latest barrage of strikes from Iran that came into Israel Saturday night, and these are retaliatory strikes from Iran after the United States and Israel launched their offensive against Iran early Saturday morning, saying that Iran could not have a nuclear weapon and calling on the Iranian people, saying that the time was now that the government was theirs to take. That there have been at least 200 people killed in Iran from those strikes. The strikes on Saturday morning in Iran, Israeli officials say that they killed Iran's Supreme Leader, although Iran has not yet confirmed that. Now it's unclear what is going to happen in the next few days. Israelis and the rest of the region are just bracing for a very intense next few days ahead."

STORYLINE:
The U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Saturday in a massive operation that President Donald Trump said killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei while targeting military capabilities and aiming to eliminate the threat of Tehran creating a nuclear weapon.

There was no comment on Khamenei by Tehran, while Trump urged Iranians to seize the moment and “take over.”

In counterattacks, Iran fired drones and missiles at Israel and aimed strikes at U.S. military installations in Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar.

Exchanges of fire continued into the night.

Israel’s rescue services, Magen David Adom, said Saturday night that a woman in the Tel Aviv area had died after being injured in an Iranian missile attack.

It was the first death announced in Israel since the exchange of missiles began Saturday morning. It came after a heavy barrage of Iranian missiles targeted central Israel, damaging buildings and setting fires.

The service did not immediately identify the woman or give more details on what happened.

Magen David Adom says it has so far treated at least 90 people lightly injured in Israel and one man who was seriously injured.

Iranian state media, citing the Red Crescent, on Saturday evening said at least 201 people had been killed and more than 700 injured.

Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran’s National Security Council, said Israel and America will “regret their actions.”

The strikes came two days after the latest U.S.-Iran talks as Trump pressured Tehran for a deal to constrain its nuclear program, building up a fleet of warships in the region.

Iran's theocracy also has struggled with growing dissent following nationwide protests that began over the economy but turned into anti-government ones.
