Iranian media reported that Israel struck the South Pars Gas Field in what would be the first attack on an Iranian energy site.
In Israel, at least 10 people were killed in Iranian strikes overnight and into Sunday, according to the Magen David Adom rescue service, bringing the country’s total death toll to 13. The country’s main international airport and airspace remained closed for a third day.
Israel launched unprecedented military strikes against Iran, targeting military sites and its nuclear program. The attacks by more than 200 fighter jets killed at least three of Iran’s top military officers.
