Air raid sirens have been sounding throughout much of the morning across large parts of Israel and the occupied West Bank. By 10 a.m., Israeli media reported seven rocket salvos from Iran. Several people were reported injured in the Tel Aviv area.

In Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, two people were killed by debris from a downed Iranian missile, according to local authorities. Three others were injured.

Bahrain and Kuwait also reported overnight that they were attacked by Iran, the AP reports.

The Iranian attacks follow a night of Israeli strikes on Iran. Israel carried out a “large-scale wave of attacks” against regime targets in several locations in Iran, according to the military’s Telegram update. According to Israeli authorities, Alireza Tangsiri, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, has been killed. Tangsiri is said to have been directly responsible for Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf.

In total, more than 10,000 military targets in Iran have been hit during the war, U.S. Central Command stated last night on X. Among other things, over 90 percent of the Iranian navy's largest ships are said to have been destroyed. In addition, two-thirds of Iran's missile and drone production facilities are said to have been hit in U.S. strikes.
