Iran launched a new missile strike against Israel, with explosions reported in central Tel Aviv.

According to initial information, five people were injured in the attack. Israeli media says one person dies of injuries sustained in attack on Tel Aviv. The impact is believed to have been caused by a missile that penetrated Israel’s anti-missile defence system.

The strike comes amid heightened regional escalation and coincided with ballistic missile launches targeting the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.

Authorities have not yet released further details regarding the extent of the damage or the condition of those injured. Emergency services were deployed to the affected areas, while air defence systems remained on high alert.

Israeli military publishes list of senior Iranian leaders it says were killed in strikes

The Israeli military has released a list of senior Iranian officials it says were killed in Saturday’s airstrikes, as conflicting reports continue to circulate over the fate of Iran’s top leadership.

According to Israel, those killed include Defence Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh; Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani; Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Mohammad Pakpour; intelligence official Saleh Asadi; research officials Hossein Jabal Amelian and Reza Mozaffari-Nia; and long-time defence liaison Mohammad Shirazi.

Tehran has not officially confirmed the deaths of the individuals named by Israel.

Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told NBC that, to his knowledge, all senior members of Iran’s leadership remained safe.

Separately, Israeli sources cited by CNN claimed that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in one of the strikes. However, Israel has not provided evidence to substantiate that claim, and no independent confirmation has been issued.

The situation remains fluid, with official statements from both sides sharply diverging as tensions escalate.
