Iran fired a new wave of missile attacks on Israel early Monday, killing at least five people, while Israel claimed it had achieved air superiority over Tehran and could fly over the Iranian capital without facing major threats. The Israeli military said it had destroyed more than 120 surface-to-surface missile launchers in central Iran, a third of Iran’s total, and struck 10 command centers in Tehran belonging to Iran’s Quds Force.

Military spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said, “At this time, we can say that we have achieved full aerial superiority over Tehran’s skies. Israeli strikes amount to a deep and comprehensive blow to the Iranian threat.” Iran announced it had launched some 100 missiles and vowed further retaliation for sweeping attacks on its military and nuclear infrastructure that have killed at least 224 people in the country since Friday.

One missile fell near the American consulate in Tel Aviv, with its blast waves causing minor damage, U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee said on X. He added that no American personnel were injured. Israel said so far 24 people have been killed and more than 500 injured as Iran launched more than 370 missiles and hundreds of drones.

The conflict began when Israel launched an assault on Iran’s top military leaders, uranium enrichment sites, and nuclear scientists, which it said was necessary to prevent its longtime adversary from getting any closer to building an atomic weapon. Iran maintains that its nuclear program is peaceful.

The back-and-forth has raised concerns about all-out war between the countries and propelled the region into even greater upheaval. Powerful explosions rocked Tel Aviv shortly before dawn on Monday, sending plumes of black smoke into the sky over the coastal city.

In Petah Tikva, a residential building was hit by Iranian missiles, charring concrete walls, shattering windows, and ripping the walls off multiple apartments. The Israeli Magen David Adom emergency service reported that two women and two men, all in their 70s, and one other person were killed in the attacks.

“We clearly see that our civilians are being targeted,” said Israeli police spokesman Dean Elsdunne outside the bombed-out building in Petah Tikva. Petah Tikva resident Yoram Suki, who lost his home, urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to keep up the attacks on Iran. “It’s totally worth it,” the 60-year-old said. “This is for the sake of our children and grandchildren.”

The conflict has resulted in significant damage and loss of life on both sides, with Iran reporting 1,277 wounded and rights groups suggesting that the Iranian government’s death toll is a significant undercount.
