In a video statement, Iran’s armed forces told residents of Israel to leave the vicinity of ‘vital areas’ for their safety.

Missiles and projectiles were seen in the skies over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv early on Sunday as Tehran unleashed a fresh attack on Israel which in turn launched an expanded assault on Iran.

Video verified by CNN captures the dramatic moment a missile struck in vicinity of the Kirya, an area of Tel Aviv that’s home to an urban military base housing Israel’s Defense Forces.

At least three people were killed and scores were wounded during an aerial battle over Tel Aviv, as Iranian missiles rained down and Israeli rockets attempted to intercept them.

Israel and Iran kept up their attacks, killing and wounding civilians and raising concern among world leaders meeting in Canada this week that the biggest battle between the two old enemies could lead to a broader regional conflict.

Onlookers gathered on Saturday at a central Tel Aviv residential building next door to Israel’s defense headquarters that was damaged after it took a hit from what appeared to be shrapnel from an overnight missile barrage from Iran.

Many of those confirmed dead were women and children, according to the authorities, although they have yet to publicly name all of the victims.

Israel has launched hundreds of air strikes since the early hours of June 13th. Iran has responded with salvoes of ballistic missiles and drones, although only a handful have penetrated Israel’s defence systems.
