The Israel-Iran conflict has entered its third day with a surge in missile attacks, civilian casualties, and heightened global concern over a potential regional war. Iran launched another round of ballistic missiles on Sunday, shortly after explosions shook several districts in Tehran. Meanwhile, Israeli cities, including Haifa and Bat Yam, suffered major damage as both sides exchanged heavy fire.
Missile Strikes Rock Cities
On Sunday evening, an Iranian missile lit up the sky above Haifa. Iran’s military warned Israeli civilians to evacuate areas near “vital targets.” At least 15 people were injured in Haifa. Earlier in the day, loud blasts hit northern Tehran neighborhoods, including Niavaran and Tajrish, along with central areas like Valiasr and Hafte Tir squares.
Israel retaliated by striking multiple Iranian cities. Air raids hit Shiraz and Isfahan, damaging a key military base. In one of its longest-range operations, Israel targeted an aerial refueling plane at Mashhad Airport in eastern Iran.

Casualties Mount on Both Sides
Iran’s Health Ministry reported 128 deaths across the country since Friday. Local media said around 900 others were injured, with women and children among the victims. No official casualty figures have yet been released for Sunday’s attacks.
In Israel, rescue teams searched through rubble in Bat Yam, one of the hardest-hit areas. More than 60 buildings were damaged. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Iran would “pay a heavy price” for civilian deaths. So far, 13 people have died in Israel since Thursday, with 380 injured.
Civilians Seek Shelter Amid Ongoing Threats
Iran prepared schools, mosques, and metro stations as makeshift shelters, though many were deemed unsafe. The situation marks Iran’s worst experience of war since the 1980s Iran-Iraq conflict.
Wider Ramifications and Uncertainty
The conflict has raised alarms globally. U.S. President Donald Trump suggested peace could be near, yet hinted at the possibility of American involvement. As tensions rise, both nations brace for what could become a prolonged and devastating confrontation.
