The Israeli Defense Forces said Monday it struck the headquarters belonging to Quds Force, a wing of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

"Air Force fighter jets attacked the headquarters of the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards and the Iranian army, under precise intelligence guidance from the Intelligence Department," the IDF wrote on X.

"In these headquarters, Quds operatives planned terrorist acts against Israel through the Iranian regime's branches in the Middle East," it added.

Eight people have been killed and more than 100 others were evacuated from multiple sites and transported to hospitals after an Iranian ballistic missile attack across Central Israel, according to the Israeli Magen David Adom emergency service.

"MDA teams have confirmed the death of 3 victims, including 2 women and a man in their 70s, and have so far evacuated 74 injured people to hospitals, including a 30-year-old woman in serious condition with facial injuries, 5 moderately injured and 68 in light condition," the emergency service wrote earlier on X.

"Rescue activities and the search for additional victims are continuing at 2 of the 4 sites," it added.

The casualty total was later updated to eight dead and more than 100 wounded.

Iran's Ministry of Health said at least 224 people have been killed and nearly 1,300 people have been hospitalized in Iran since Israel began its offensive on Friday, and the vast majority of casualties were civilians.

A total of 67 people were evacuated from multiple sites and transported to hospitals after an Iranian ballistic missile attack across Central Israel, according to the Israeli Magen David Adom emergency service.

"So far, MDA teams have evacuated 67 victims from 4 different scenes to hospitals, of which a 30-year-old woman is in serious condition, 6 are in moderate condition, and 60 are in mild and anxious condition who were evacuated to hospitals throughout the central region," the emergency service wrote on X.

A new strike in Tel Aviv amid Israel's conflict with Iran led to several people injured while others remain unaccounted for, according to Fox News' Trey Yingst.

Several buildings were damaged in the strike, Yingst reported.

Images from the scene showed a heavy presence by first responders searching through the rubble for survivors.

Video showed a baby being carried out and a young girl with a backpack walking with members of her family.

Missiles were seen raining down on Central Israel, after Iran launched another barrage early Monday morning.

While the missiles continued to fly into Israel’s airspace, air defense system were seen countering the barrage, shooting several out of the sky.

The aftermath was horrific, though, as Fox News’ Trey Yingst reported talking to a man who was bleeding.

Yingst also reported multiple buildings were damaged by the missiles, which may have been from a direct hit.

Israeli U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon said Sunday that he and other leaders from his country, ahead of the G7 meeting in Canada this week, expect moral clarity and that the world understands Israel is “doing the dirty work” for democracies around the globe by taking on Iran before it can develop a nuclear bomb.

Danon was a guest on “The Big Weekend Show” on Sunday, when he was asked about what is next with the war with Iran and what will come out of the G7 meeting in Canada.

He told the hosts of the show that Israel takes any threats to exterminate the country seriously, as well as when Iran says it wants to build a nuclear bomb.

“We take it very seriously, the threat of Iran, and what we are doing now, we are eliminating the risk for Israel, but not only for Israel,” Danon said. “Today, those ballistic missiles are flying into Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. They can reach New York City and Miami. Give them a few months, they will have the technology and ability to do that. So, we are preventing Iran from building not only a nuclear bomb, they are actually building a ballistic missile power which can compete with the U.S. and Russia combined.”

He explained that many allies in the region have said they are happy to see Israel take on Iran, though they may not say it publicly. The recent attacks on Iran, he said, targeted military bases, infrastructure of ballistic missiles and nuclear reactors, though Iran is targeting Israel’s cities and neighborhoods.

Danon was asked about resolutions from the United Nations last year, 17 of which condemned Israel, compared to just six condemning the rest of the world, including North Korea, Iran and Syria. So, heading into the G7, he was asked what Israel can expect from the United Nations in terms of Israel’s war with Iran.

“We saw hypocrisy in action. You know, October 7 happened 20 months ago. The UN was not capable until today to pass one resolution condemning the atrocities of Hamas,” Danon said. “They saw the footage of what happened to us on October 7. They were not capable to pass a resolution condemning Hamas; it shows that you need leadership. We are waiting for the new US ambassador to come in very soon, and I'm sure that together we will continue to fight back against the hypocrisy of the UN.”

Sirens sounded across Israel early Monday morning as Israel Defense Forces (IDF) urged the public to find protection after it identified missiles being launched from Iran toward Israel.

“A short while ago, the IDF identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the State of Israel,” the IDF said. “Defensive systems are operating to intercept the threat.

“Upon receiving an alert, the public is instructed to enter a protected space and remain there until further notice,” the IDF continued. “Leaving the protected space is only permitted following an explicit directive. Continue to follow the instructions of the Home Front Command.”

Sirens were heard from the Galilee to southern Israel, Tel Aviv and Central Israel just before 4:30 a.m. local time.

A short time later, IDF said there were several impact sites in Central Israel, adding that the public was permitted to leave protected spaces.

"Search and Rescue forces are operating in several locations across the country in which reports of fallen projectiles were received," IDF said. "The public is requested to continue to follow the instructions of the Home Front Command."

President Donald Trump on Sunday said Israel and Iran sometimes ‘have to fight it out’ while expressing optimism that a deal can be struck as both countries continue to trade airstrikes amid fears of a wider conflict in the Middle East.

Trump was getting ready to board Air Force One to depart for Canada to attend the G7 Summit in Alberta when he was asked about his effort to help de-escalate the tensions between Israel and Iran.

"Well, I hope there's going to be a deal," Trump said. "I think it's time for a deal, and we'll see what happens. But sometimes they have to fight it out. But we're going to see what happens. I think there's a good chance there will be a deal."

High-resolution satellite images released on Sunday show the aftermath of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) airstrikes at Iranian military facilities.

Israel’s initial strikes against Iran on Thursday night targeted nuclear facilities as well as high-level military leaders.

One of the targets was the Kermanshah missile facilities in western Iran. Satellite images taken by Maxar Technologies showed multiple missile storage buildings along with numerous vehicle tunnel entrances used to conceal and hide missile-related equipment that had been destroyed or damaged.

At the Shiraz missile facilities in southern Iran, images showed active fires and burned vegetation in and around the facilities, however, no signs of destroyed buildings or vehicles could be seen.

Also in Shiraz, an electronics production facility was hit and satellite images from Sunday showed heavy smoke and active fires observed in and around the facility.

Images taken of the Bid Kaneh missile facility just southwest of Tehran showed multiple buildings were destroyed. Dozens of trucks, vehicles and other equipment also appeared to be relocated, according to Maxar Technologies, and were dispersed throughout the site.

Maxar said images of the Natanz enrichment facility, southeast of Tehran, showed new vehicle activity in the dirt that covers the underground centrifuge buildings at Natanz.

On Sunday’s imagery, vehicle tracks and small dirt piles can be seen at the Natanz facility, which correlates to the same areas where the craters were seen on Saturday, possibly indicating an effort to conceal/cover the craters.

Israel’s preemptive attack on Iran not only marked a major milestone for the 77-year-old nation, but also a turning point for the Middle East. According to a former IDF spokesperson, as Jerusalem grapples with the ongoing war in Gaza, it’s clear Israel has its eyes set on one major goal: ensuring that Tehran never obtains a nuclear weapon.

Lt. Col. (Ret.) Jonathan Conricus, former IDF Spokesperson, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) and co-founder of "BottomLine Media," told Fox News Digital that Israel is working to eradicate what it sees as an existential threat.

In the early hours of Friday morning local time, Israel carried out a series of airstrikes and covert operations to take out Iranian infrastructure and senior leadership. The IDF on Saturday said it had killed more than 20 Iranian commanders, including the head of the country’s Intelligence Directorate and the commander of Iran’s surface-to-surface missile array.

A new round of Iranian missiles has been launched toward Israel, according to state-sponsored media.

Mehr News Agency reported that the joint missile strike from Iran and Yemen was launched toward occupied territories in Israel.

Israel Defense Forces issued a wide alert to stay near a protected shelter following indication of a missile attack from Iran, earlier in the evening.

Fox News’ Yona Friling contributed to this report.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF)  announced it is currently striking surface-to-surface missile sites in central Iran.

"The Air Force is currently attacking surface-to-surface missile sites in central Iran," the IDF posted in an alert on X.

A “wide-alert” was also issued prior to the strikes, urging residents to stay next to a protected shelter following indications of a missile launch from Iran.

This comes after the Israeli Air Force and Navy successfully intercepted over 100 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) launched from Iran in ongoing aerial attacks, with no reports of fallen drones in Israeli territory.

Aerial attacks between Israel and Iran continued overnight into Sunday following Israel’s Thursday attack.

The Aerial Defense systems and missile boats are operating in efforts to intercept and eliminate threats.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has completed a wide-scale wave of strikes to degrade the Iranian regime’s weapons production capabilities.

Numerous weapons production sites across Iran were targeted following the wide-scale wave of strikes carried out earlier today on infrastructure belonging to the Quds Force, the IRGC, and the Iranian military in Tehran.

Aeriel map views show the sites that were struck, which included a site for producing fuels for various types of missiles and a production site for components of aerial defense systems belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Emergency crews in northern Israel have treated 8 people with injuries, including 1 person who is listed in moderate condition and seven people with light injuries, following a barrage of strikes on Sunday, according to a spokesperson from Magen David Adom (MDA).

The MDA spokesperson also said there were nine people suffering from anxiety following the attack.

Additionally, crews evacuated 10 injuries, including a woman who was about 72 years old and listed in moderate condition. The spokesperson noted that the woman was suffering from smoke inhalation.

Six other individuals were evacuated with mild injuries and taken to area hospitals.

Former Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy discussed Iran’s ballistic missile launchers being ‘deliberately targeted at civilian areas overnight’ on ‘Fox & Friends Weekend.’

“This is the first time that we've had Iranian ballistic missiles being fired in the middle of the day as opposed to the middle of the night, catching everyone off because they thought they would have until the evening,” Levy explained.

Levy added that while Israelis are well-trained on how to seek shelter quickly from attacks from Iran, this threat is "very different."

“We know the Iranian regime is launching dozens of missiles at the same time to overwhelm Israel's missile defenses and that it is deliberately aiming at Israel's civilian areas and civilian buildings,” Levy said. “We control the airspace over Tehran and the leaders of the regime in Iran need to think very carefully before they continue to bombard Israel's population centers.”

Levy said that the “root cause of the conflict in the Middle East is that Iran is governed by a radical fundamentalist religious regime that is trying to oppress the entire region in pursuit of its vision of destroying Israel."

“And Israel has now launched this operation to eliminate the twin threats of an Iranian nuclear bomb and ballistic missiles because it understands that the regime is committed to Israel's destruction,” Levy said. “That's the root of the conflict between us. Israel wants to exist, and the Iranian regime doesn't want us to exist.”

Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst said that interceptors were in action earlier today to stop incoming fire into Israel's second-largest city.

Yingst showed one of the interceptors could be seen in the sky above, working to stop missiles from striking the city.

Sirens could be heard ringing out as a warning to send residents into bomb shelters, Yingst shared.

Israel has been facing retaliation from Iran after launching missiles against Tehran's leadership and energy infrastructure as part of "Operation Rising Lion" this weekend.

Iran's military responded with a wave of missile strikes against Israel, which have killed at least 13 people as of Sunday. More than 200 were wounded in the series of strikes, as dozens remain missing.

Emergency medical crews with Magen David Adom (MDA) continue scanning the area for casualties after Iran’s latest barrage of strikes in northern Israel.

Video provided by MDA showed EMTs and paramedics providing medical treatment to people as buildings continued to burn following an attack by Iran on northern Israel.

MDA is Israel’s national emergency medical, disaster, ambulance and blood bank service.

A spokesperson for MDA said, “Large MDA forces are scanning the area to locate any additional casualties.”

Israel Defense Forces shared a video on social media showing a surface-to-air missile launcher in Tehran being taken out by an airstrike.

The dramatic video shows the moment the launcher was struck from above, sparking an explosion filled with smoke and missiles flying into the air.

Israel launched “Operation Rising Lion” on Thursday night, targeting Iran’s nuclear and missile infrastructure. The initial strike took out several of Iran’s top military leaders and nuclear scientists.
