Strikes between Israel and Iran continued overnight as tensions between the two countries escalate.
We’re taking stock now of what we do and don’t know as developments continue to unfold.
We do know that Iranian missiles in Israel overnight led to multiple casualties. Israel’s emergency services say at least 10 people have been killed, with more than 100 injured. A few days ago, Iran’s ambassador to the UN said that 78 people had been killed in Israeli strikes.
Yesterday, we learned from Iranian state television that 60 people, including 20 children, were killed in a strike on an apartment building in Tehran.
In Iran, Tehran’s oil ministry says the Shahran oil depot in the capital was hit in Israeli strikes. We now know the oil refinery remains operational, despite a fire that broke out following the attack.
Our reporter in Bat Yam, Israel, tells us that seven people remain trapped under the rubble of a 10-storey building. We heard earlier that six people were killed when an Iranian missile struck the high-rise block of flats.
We don’t know the extent of the damage in Iran. We have not heard reports of casualties following Israel’s latest strikes. We also don’t know the impact of strikes on infrastructure, other than the oil depot in Tehran.
BBC journalists can’t be sent to Iran due to restrictions by the Iranian government, making reporting on the damage caused by Israel’s offensive difficult.
BBC Monitoring’s Sarah Jalali reported earlier that Iranian state media has been highlighting attacks on Israel but giving limited coverage of Israel’s attacks on Iran.
This means that we’re getting constant developments on the strikes carried out by Iran in Israel, but there’s been no mention of casualties from Israeli strikes in Iran.
We’re continuing to gather information as this story develops. Stay with us.
