NAZARETH, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), At least seven Israelis were injured Tuesday evening after an Iranian missile struck the Tel Aviv area.
Hebrew-language sources reported that a missile hit the city of Bnei Brak, east of Tel Aviv, resulting in seven injuries and causing significant damage to vehicles and buildings.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that the death toll among American troops has risen to six, with 18 others wounded in what were described as serious injuries, in the context of joint US-Israeli military operations against Iran.
In a statement released Monday evening, CENTCOM said that as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (21:00 GMT) on March 2, six American service members had been killed during combat operations. In a separate post on X, the command also confirmed the recovery of the remains of two previously missing soldiers following the targeting of a facility in the region during the initial Iranian attacks.
On Monday, the Iranian Red Crescent announced that the death toll had risen to 555 people as a result of the ongoing US-Israeli attacks over the past two days.
In a statement cited by the Fars News Agency, the organization said that joint Israeli-American strikes had targeted 131 residential areas across Iran, resulting in 555 victims. No figures were provided regarding the number of injuries.
Since Saturday, Israel and the US have been carrying out military strikes against Iran, reportedly killing hundreds of people, including senior security officials and Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Tehran has responded by launching missiles and drones toward Israel and US bases in countries across the region.
The escalation comes despite reported progress in negotiations between Iran and the US over Tehran’s nuclear program. Observers note that this marks the second time the US has withdrawn from negotiations, following the outbreak of the June 2025 war during the previous round of talks.
