Four people, including children, were injured after missile debris fell on the Southern Ring Road near the town of Ain Tarma and the city of Jaramana in the Damascus countryside, as Israel and Iran continue exchanging missile attacks.
An Enab Baladi correspondent in Damascus reported that the missile was heading toward Israel and was intercepted over the city’s skies, causing it to fall onto a parked car near a checkpoint on the Southern Ring Road.
An Iranian drone also fell between the towns of al-Naima and Umm al-Mayathen, east of Daraa city in southern Syria, after it was reportedly en route to Israel.
At dawn on Sunday, March 1, debris from an Iranian missile fell in the village of Aqerba in the northwestern countryside of Daraa.
On the first day of the US-Israeli attacks on Iran and Tehran’s response, Saturday, February 28, several Iranian missiles bound for Israel also fell in southern Syria, resulting in deaths and injuries.
Ongoing Israel-Iran attacks
The region is witnessing rising tensions following joint US and Israeli military operations against Iranian sites, and Tehran’s retaliatory strikes.
The US Central Command announced that the US military has targeted more than 1,000 Iranian sites since the launch of the military campaign on Saturday, February 28, dubbed “Roar of the Lion.”
US President Donald Trump said on Sunday evening that combat operations in Iran would continue until all objectives are achieved.
In a video posted on the Truth Social platform, he confirmed that three US soldiers had been killed, adding that more American casualties were likely.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced the start of the ninth wave of attacks on US targets in Gulf countries and on Israel, on the evening of Sunday, March 1.
An Israeli official told Reuters that Israel’s current focus in Iran is to undermine the Iranian regime and ultimately bring about its collapse.
The Israeli army stated that it carried out more than 30 strikes targeting Iran’s ballistic missile system and air defense networks.
Nine Israelis were killed after a direct hit on a building in Beit Shemesh near Jerusalem, according to Israel’s public broadcaster, while the number of injuries in Jerusalem rose to seven, one of them in critical condition, following Iranian missile strikes.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said its latest wave of aerial attacks resulted in 40 deaths and 60 injuries in Haifa, Israel, on Sunday.
In Iran, the total number of casualties has not yet been fully counted, despite reports of rising injuries.
Iranian attacks on US bases in Gulf countries are also ongoing. Missiles and drones were reported to have fallen in Dubai and Bahrain on Sunday, causing casualties and injuries, while explosions were heard in Kuwait.
Senior Iranian leaders killed
The joint US-Israeli military operation against Iran led to the killing of several top Iranian leaders, foremost among them Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Those reported killed also include Ali Shamkhani, advisor to the Supreme Leader and head of the Defense Council, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Mohammad Bagher, Chief of Staff Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, and Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh.
The US-Israeli attack also resulted in the killing of the Supreme Leader’s daughter, his son-in-law, and his granddaughter.
Iran vowed a “crushing” response to the killing of the Supreme Leader and other leaders, through statements by the Revolutionary Guard and Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani.
President Trump warned of a harsh response if Iran follows through on threats of a large-scale military attack on US targets in the region.
US identified, Israel carried out
The US Central Intelligence Agency, CIA, identified the location of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei after months of tracking his movements.
The New York Times reported that the agency learned of a meeting involving Khamenei and senior Iranian officials on Saturday morning at a leadership compound in central Tehran.
Following the intelligence updates, the United States and Israel decided to partially move forward the timing of their planned Saturday evening attack to the morning, to capitalize on the new intelligence, according to officials familiar with the decisions.
The CIA shared its intelligence with Israel, which carried out the operation. Israeli sources said the leadership compound in Tehran was targeted with 30 bombs by Israeli aircraft in the strike that killed Khamenei and his top advisors and commanders.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard later announced missile strikes on Israeli territory and several US bases in the Gulf region in response to the assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
According to Iranian state television, the strikes targeted 27 US military bases in the Middle East, in addition to Israel’s Ministry of Security, the Israeli army’s general headquarters, and a defense industries complex in Tel Aviv.
For its part, the Israeli army said its air force had struck more than 1,200 missiles and announced on February 28 that 200 Israeli warplanes targeted more than 500 sites in Iran.
