Israeli rescue services report 8 dead and over 130 injured following Iranian strikes

Overnight waves of Iranian strikes on Israel killed at least eight people, including children, according to emergency services, as air raid sirens forced millions to take shelter.

In the central region, a rocket attack killed four people—including a 10-year-old boy—and injured around 100 others, said a Magen David Adom (MDA) spokesperson.

An additional 37 people were wounded in the Shfela region, the spokesperson added.

Israel Police confirmed via X that a strike in Tel Aviv district along the central coast caused multiple fatalities and dozens of injuries.

Earlier on Saturday night, a strike destroyed a three-storey building in Israel's Western Galilee, where MDA reported three women were killed.
