Iran launched fresh missile attacks on central Israel overnight, killing 8 and injuring dozens as the Iran-Israel conflict entered its fourth day. Strikes targeted Tel Aviv, Haifa, and nearby cities. Nearly 300 have been hospitalized, according to Israeli officials. Iran’s health ministry says at least 224 have died in Israeli strikes since Friday, though independent reporting from Iran remains restricted. Israel initiated the conflict with targeted attacks on Iran’s nuclear and military sites. Iran retaliated with ballistic missiles and drones. Israeli PM Netanyahu ruled out de-escalation, while President Trump urged both sides to negotiate. Iran insists it won’t negotiate under attack. (PC: BBC)
