STORY: Israeli emergency responders attended scenes in two central parts of the country early on Saturday (April 4) after Iranian missiles hit residential areas.

Residents in Petah Tikva spoke to emergency teams on the street while their building was cordoned off and assessed. In Ramat Gan, first responders inspected the damage by torchlight.

Thousands of people have been killed across the Middle East since February 28, when the U.S. and Israel began air strikes on Iran, triggering Iranian attacks on Israel, U.S. bases and the Gulf states, while opening a new front in Lebanon.

Missiles launched from Iran and Lebanon towards Israel have killed 19 people in Israel since the war started, according to Israel's ambulance service. The Israeli military said 10 of its soldiers were also killed in southern Lebanon.
