A man and a woman were killed in Israel and dozens wounded by a missile that landed near their homes, Israel's ambulance service said Saturday.

A tragic incident occurred in Israel when a man and a woman lost their lives, and many others were injured due to a missile that landed near their homes, according to Israel's ambulance service on Saturday. The situation escalated as both Iran and Israel engaged in missile attacks and airstrikes following Israel's significant air offensive against Iran to prevent its nuclear weapon development.

Air raid sirens were heard across Israel, prompting residents to seek shelter as Iranian missiles were launched, intercepted by Israeli defenses. The aftermath saw rescue teams combing through the debris of buildings destroyed in Rishon Lezion, a city near Tel Aviv.

Israel's Defense Minister, Israel Katz, condemned Iran's attack on civilians, stating that the Iranian leadership would face severe consequences for their actions. The conflict extended to the West Bank, where a missile from Yemen, launched by the Iran-backed Houthi militia, led to the deaths of five Palestinians, including three children.

Iran experienced explosions in Tehran, with reports of projectiles hitting Mehrabad airport, a significant location near key Iranian leadership sites. The situation escalated further as Iran launched multiple waves of airstrikes in response to Israel's initial attacks on Friday.

The US military intervened to intercept Iranian missiles heading towards Israel, with Israel reporting that most of the missiles were intercepted or fell short. The conflict raised concerns about a broader regional crisis, with Iran's allies, Hamas and Hezbollah, also facing Israeli attacks.

Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, accused Israel of instigating a war, while Israeli officials confirmed damage to Iran's Natanz nuclear site. The UN nuclear watchdog reported destruction at the Natanz pilot enrichment plant and was investigating further attacks on Fordow and Isfahan facilities.

US President Donald Trump urged Iran to halt the conflict by reaching a deal on its nuclear program. However, Iran expressed reluctance to resume talks with the US, citing concerns over Israel's actions. The situation remains tense as both countries navigate the implications of the recent escalations.
