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.
