00:01In images released by the Iranian Red Crescent, rescue workers searched the rubble after an

00:05Israeli airstrike on Tehran on Monday.

00:09Grey smoke could be seen in the skies above the capital, where Israel said it struck government

00:13targets and the notorious Evin prison.

00:17Israel's foreign minister published this video online, which appears to show the gate

00:21of the jail being blown open.

00:23The prison is known for holding foreign nationals, including two French citizens, as well as Iranian

00:36to have hit runways, underground hangars, a refueling aircraft and various jets.

00:47At this moment, the air force is further striking the Tehran area, with an emphasis on commanding

00:53headquarters of the Revolutionary Guards.

00:56Meanwhile, Iran continued to fire missiles towards Israel Monday, with sirens sounding

01:02across the country.

01:08The Israeli military identified several missile falls without injuries.

01:12Elsewhere in Tel Aviv, residents returned to an apartment building that was destroyed by

01:16Iranian rocket fire on Sunday.

01:19They took what belongings they could under the guidance of military personnel due to safety

01:23concerns.

01:24I'm coming to see what I can collect, pick up from my apartment, which was totally destroyed

01:32yesterday by a missile who landed under my window.

01:38And luckily I wasn't here.

01:41The Israeli army said the number of Iranian missile launches was decreasing, but warned Israelis

01:46to remain vigilant and stay updated for alerts.
