The Israeli Air Force is currently carrying out heavy airstrikes on the Jitkar neighborhood in western Tehran. The exact target is still unknown.

Avraham Cohen, age 75, lost his life in Bnei Brak overnight when an Iranian missile strike struck the area. Rescue teams later recovered his body from the wreckage.
The missile barrage that took Avraham’s life also resulted in seven more civilian deaths, with casualties reported in both Petach Tikva and Haifa.
In Petach Tikva, two people were inside a mamad—a reinforced security room—when the missile hit. Despite being in what is typically a protected area, they were fatally injured. Another person in the same structure and a fourth in a neighboring building died from the force of the explosion.

Israel responded to the deadly Iranian missile attack on Israeli civilians on Monday morning by announcing that the war is moving to a new phase. According to a Yisrael Hayom report, the IDF is expected to soon announce an evacuation order for residents of neighborhoods in Tehran ahead of extensive airstrikes by the Air Force that will lead to the collapse of buildings—similar to what was done in the past in Beirut, Lebanon. The goal is to stop Iranian attacks on Israeli population centers. Israel sees this as a real threat and is directing its response deep into civilian areas in Tehran—as part of moving the war to the enemy’s territory itself.
