The Israeli military announced that it "begun a broad wave of strikes" against Iran's launch sites, aerial defense systems, and infrastructure early Wednesday, as the joint U.S.-Israeli operation entered its fifth day.
A military statement said the Israeli Air Force struck "dozens" of government command centers and internal security facilities throughout Tehran.
Warplanes dropped dozens of munitions on the voluntary Basij force and internal security command centers.
In Israel, sirens were heard across the country overnight and into the early hours of Wednesday as authorities warned of missiles launched from Iran, while powerful interception blasts rattled buildings.
The U.S.-Israeli operation has killed around 185 students and teachers, injured nearly 120, and destroyed about 20 schools and educational units across Iran, the IRNA news agency reported.
The bombing of schools, hospitals, and rescue and relief centers by the United States and Israel violates international conventions, commitments and law, and should be recorded in history, Education Minister Alireza Kazemi said on Tuesday while visiting some of the damaged schools in Tehran.
