At least five people were killed in the latest Iranian strikes, the national emergency service said, bringing Israel’s death toll to at least 18 since Friday.

Iran struck Israel early June 14, with barrages of missiles after a massive onslaught targeted the Islamic republic's nuclear and military facilities, and killed several top generals.

Israel said hundreds of airstrikes over the past two days killed nine senior scientists and experts involved in Iran’s nuclear program, in addition to several top generals.
