Iran launches fresh air strikes on Israel after military figure killed in Tehran

Strikes by Israel and Iran continue as the conflict between the two countries intensifies.

Four people have been killed in Iran’s strikes across central Israel with dozens of people injured, according to Magen David Adom, Israel’s national emergency service.

On Sunday, Israeli strikes killed the chief of Iran’s armed forces intelligence unit Mohammad Kazemi.

This comes after Israel attacked Iran early on Friday, hitting nuclear facilities, military sites and populated areas. Iran has responded with drones and ballistic missiles.

US President Donald Trump says the two sides should make a deal, adding calls and meetings are taking place as the escalation stretches into a third day, but Iran says it will not negotiate a ceasefire while under attack.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says “the issue here is not de-escalation”, but stopping Iran from developing its nuclear capability.

Iran’s health ministry reports that at least 224 people have been killed in Israeli attacks since Friday.
