JAKARTA - One person was killed and more than 20 people injured after an Iranian rocket hit near a settlement in Rishon Lezion, just south of Tel Aviv on Saturday morning local time.

The paramedics were dispatched to the scene, where they found severe damage and a number of people were trapped under the rubble.

"This is a difficult and complicated situation and we are still scanning and ensuring there are no additional casualties in the building," said Deputy Director of Emergency Services for the Ayalon region, Rami Musher, as reported by CNN, Saturday, June 14.

Video from the Reuters news agency showed the roof of the damaged house and dozens of rescue workers and military personnel at the scene.

Earlier, senior Iranian military official General Ahmad Vahidi said "Operation True Promise 3" the designation for Iran's retaliatory attack would continue as long as necessary.

Iran's Republican news agency IRNA, Saturday, June 19, reported a second wave of attacks had begun against targets within Israel, with Israeli media reporting a major explosion as Iranian missiles rained down on the region.

Reports state that missiles were launched from the capitals of Tehran and Kermanshah in western Iran, towards targets deep within Israeli territory.

Iran began a counter-attack on Israeli targets on Friday evening local time, after Israeli aggression targeted several locations in Iran, including residential buildings, within Iran.

Images and footage taken by Israelis showed Iranian missiles exploded when they hit the target and created a large fireball.
