Under the night into Saturday, drones lit up the sky in the Middle East once again.
Iran's response has occurred in several waves since Israel's initial attacks under the night into Friday, when 200 fighter jets attacked primarily nuclear power plant facilities and other military targets.
The latest Iranian drone rain was fired early on Saturday morning.
Children reported killed
At least three Israelis have been killed in the Tel Aviv area, according to Israeli media. The air raid alarm went off under the night also in Jerusalem and Eilat and explosions were heard when the Israeli air defense shot at the Iranian drones.
State Iranian media report that 60 people, including 20 children, were killed in Israeli attacks on residential houses in Tehran on Friday.
It is unclear if they are included in the number of 78 people that Iran's UN ambassador reported had been killed on the first day of the escalation.
Even on Saturday morning, the attacks continued in the Iranian capital, and smoke was seen billowing over Mehrabad Airport when Israel hit the hangar for fighter jets there. In the province of Isfahan, where important nuclear power plant facilities are located, the air defense was activated.
On the morning, the city of Tabriz in northwestern Iran was also attacked.
Threatens Tehran's residents
Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz warns that Tehran will burn – and that the capital's residents will "pay the price" for continued drones from Iran, according to Israeli media. Fighter jets will resume attacks on the capital, promises the Israeli military around lunchtime according to AP.
A Iranian official reports to CNN that Iran will intensify its attacks on Israel, and that bases belonging to all countries that help Israel will also be seen as targets. The threat has also been published in state Iranian media.
Both countries also claim that they have shot down drones from the other party.
Israel says it has attacked more than 200 targets in Iran on Friday. Nuclear power plant facilities were attacked, as well as targets where high-ranking Iranian military personnel were located.
Tens of Iranian top military officials are reported to have been killed, including Iran's Defense Minister and the leader of the powerful Revolutionary Guard, as well as high-ranking nuclear physicists.
