The Israeli army has released videos and photos that is said to show an attack on the nuclear facility Isfahan.
“This is what the nuclear facility in Isfahan looks like, which is used to transform Uranus, which is the stage that follows the stage of enrichment on the path to the production of nuclear weapons,” said army spokesman Avichai Avii in post.
“The Air Force struck the central facility, along with buildings used to produce centrifuges. We continue to hit the Iranian nuclear project.”
Iran’s Deputy Minister of Health Ali Jafarian says the department is preparing to cure all the victims suffering from the effects of Israel’s continued attacks on nuclear facilities.
“We have not yet received reports of Israel using unconventional weapons. We are ready to deal with some nuclear leak in the event that nuclear reactors are directed and we hope that we will not reach this stage,” Jaffarian said.
The Israeli forces also hit a military installation in the southern Iranian city of Shiraz in the province of Fars, according to Iranian media.
On the Israeli side there were explosions over Tel Aviv, where buildings were visible on fire.
In Central Israel, emergency services released images showing fire on the roof of a multi -storey residential building. Local media reports say the explosion is caused by falling debris from an Iranian rocket that has captured.

Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Saturday that Israel had killed Said Isadi, who led the Palestinian Quds Corps, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Corps of Guard (IRGC) overseas hand, in an apartment in the Iran city of Qom.
Calling his murder “a major achievement for Israeli intelligence and the Air Force”, Katz said in a statement that Isadi supposedly financed and armed the Palestinian group Hamas before her attack on October 7, 2023, an attack on Israel.
IRGC said five of its members were killed in Israeli attacks, according to Iranian media. They did not mention Isadi, who was on the lists of the United States and the British sanctions.
The military action erupted on June 13, when Israel began air strikes at several sites in Iran, including military and nuclear facilities, which led Tehran to start retaliatory.
Israel claims to have attacked Iran to prevent the development of a nuclear bomb, although Iranian negotiators have been engaged in talks with the United States to restrict their enrichment program in exchange for sanctions relief.
The International Atomic Energy and US Intelligence Agency said there were no signs that Iran was building nuclear weapons, although Tehran had enriched Uranus beyond the threshold needed for civic purposes.
However, Trump on Friday said the head of US intelligence Tulsi Gabard is “Wrong” in saying This Iran does not develop a nuclear bomb.
Iranian government spokesman Facech Mohajrani told Al Jazeera that Tehran remains open to the dialogue of the United Nations and other such forums.
“We believe in listening to the other side. That is why our diplomats are present in Geneva to hear the other side,” Mohajrani said, adding that any diplomacy should start with the global recognition of Israel’s attack against Iran.

“The reality of the earth is that ordinary people are attacking daily,” he said.
“Many of the Iranian capital have chosen to leave, but we have to keep in mind that we are talking about 10 million people living in the city of Tehran and 14 million in Tehran province. This puts pressure on the surrounding areas.”
