00:00Israeli airstrikes have relentlessly battered Iran for three days.

00:08But Iran is still managing to fight back.

00:11Six people were killed and dozens wounded when this apartment block near Tel Aviv took a direct hit.

00:17They were still pulling people out of the wreckage many hours later.

00:21So we're currently after about 20 hours of working on the site,

00:24trying to put together an intelligence picture to understand who was in which apartment,

00:29who wasn't home.

00:32We've gathered a lot of intelligence and put together a picture

00:35to try to figure out who we're looking for, where we should be looking for,

00:39specifically in the building that collapsed.

00:42We've extracted a few casualties until now, up to now.

00:48The Israeli military says that 80 ballistic missiles were fired at Israel throughout Saturday night.

00:54Millions spent a third night sheltering in safe rooms.

00:58These are the neighbouring streets.

01:00And even though they didn't take a direct hit, look at the damage on the buildings.

01:04I mean, the shutter's completely blown in, windows blown in.

01:07And then if you look down here, we can't go any further because the recovery operation's going on.

01:14The damage is immense down there and you can really see why there were so many dozens of injuries here

01:24and six people killed in the building where the missile hit directly.

01:29Benjamin Netanyahu visited her site and warned that Iran would pay a heavy price for civilian casualties.

01:36And Israel's president, Isaac Herzog, called on the country's allies to stand by them.

01:42And I call upon the leaders of the G7 who will convene tomorrow in Canada.

01:46They should all be with us.

01:48Because if you want to get the nukes out, you better work together with us

01:53and make sure that Iran does not reach its capability

01:56and that our region can move to peace and dialogue and coexistence and rapproch.

02:02Israel has shot down dozens of drones launched from Iran over the past 24 hours.

02:08The IDF has warned Israelis to expect more Iranian attacks in the coming days.

02:14And Iran's foreign minister says his country is acting in self-defense.

02:20Self-defense is a recognized principle in international relations.

02:27It is the legitimate right of every country to defend itself against aggression.

02:32And this is exactly what our armed forces began doing two nights ago.

02:36Last night, you witnessed new dimensions of this response, and it will continue.

02:42Israeli jets have been striking the capital Tehran throughout the third day of this war.

02:47Iranian civilians have also been killed in the bombardment.

02:51This missile struck next to a shopping center in the city of Isfahan.

02:58And the operation has been expanded. Oil depots and gas refineries have now been hit.

03:04Huge fires burnt long into the night as Iran's critical national infrastructure

03:09and major source of economy is now being targeted.

03:12This is also an attempt to disrupt Iran's fuel supplies to limit their ability to launch missiles at Israel.

03:21This afternoon, there was a rare daytime missile attack on Israel.

03:24I've seen one interceptor missile very far in the distance, just a trading smoke.

03:30There were no reports of impacts or injuries this time.

03:34The Israeli government has extended emergency measures across the country until the end of the month.

03:40The airport is expected to remain closed for the foreseeable.

03:43They're preparing for the war to last many more weeks.
