The Israel-Iran conflict escalated dramatically through three successive waves of missile exchanges. Iran launched "Operation True Promise 3" with over 150 missiles targeting Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, breaching Israel's Iron Dome and killing at least 3 Israelis while injuring 63 others. Israeli Defense Minister threatened Tehran would "burn" if attacks continued, as Netanyahu declared from his bunker that "more is on the way."
By afternoon, Israeli strikes had reportedly killed 138 Iranians, including six nuclear scientists and two generals, while damaging the Natanz nuclear facility.
