ISTANBUL – Iranian missiles have struck multiple locations in northern Israel, killing three people and injuring 13 others, Israeli media reported on early Sunday.

“Three people were killed in the Haifa area in northern Israel, following the latest Iranian missile bombardment,” Channel 14 reported, citing the Israeli emergency authorities.

Several buildings and streets near Haifa, Tamra, and Krayot sustained “heavy damage” as a result of the missiles falling, Channel 12 reported.

Earlier, the Israeli army said it is “operating to intercept missiles launched from Iran,” and that the military is “currently striking military targets in Tehran.”

In the early hours of Friday, Israeli forces attacked Iran, hitting nuclear and missile facilities and killing top military commanders and scientists.

Iran responded with ballistic missiles targeting several areas across Israel. PNA/Anadolu
