"Yesterday we saw, we listened to the siren and went downstairs to the shelter, and after a few minutes we listened, we heard a boom. And we understand that it's very close and I was with my daughter, she's 5 years old. She started to cry and (was) very panicked. After that, we go upstairs to see what's happened and we saw a lot of policemen and soldiers and so on, and there was the smell of fire. And after that we go to sleep in school because we were very afraid in my home, and we don't have an iron door, so it's not like a shelter."

STORYLINE:
Israel said on Monday that at least 24 people have been killed and more than 500 injured as Iran launched more than 370 missiles and hundreds of drones.

Authorities in the northern Israeli port city of Haifa said an Iranian missile had hit a residential building.

It comes as Iran fired a new wave of missile attacks on Israel early Monday, killing at least five people, while Israel claimed it had achieved air superiority over Tehran and could fly over the Iranian capital without facing major threats. 

On the fourth day of the conflict, the Israeli military said it had destroyed more than 120 surface-to-surface missile launchers in central Iran, a third of Iran's total.

It also said fighter jets had struck 10 command centers in Tehran belonging to Iran’s Quds Force, an elite arm of its Revolutionary Guard that conducts military and intelligence operations outside Iran.

Iran, meanwhile, announced it had launched some 100 missiles and vowed further retaliation for sweeping attacks on its military and nuclear infrastructure that have killed at least 224 people in the country since Friday.

One missile fell near the American consulate in Tel Aviv, with its blast waves causing minor damage, US Ambassador Mike Huckabee said on X.

He added that no American personnel were injured. 

The latest conflict began when Israel launched an assault on Iran’s top military leaders, uranium enrichment sites and nuclear scientists that it said was necessary to prevent its longtime adversary from getting any closer to building an atomic weapon.
