EXPLAINERUsing open-source intelligence and visual evidence, Al Jazeera’s Sanad unit has mapped key Iranian strikes on Israel from Saturday to Monday.Sirens have continued to sound in cities across Israel as Iranian missiles strike for a sixth consecutive day in response to Israeli attacks on Iran’s nuclear, military and other sites since Friday. On Wednesday morning, an Iranian missile sparked a fire in central Israel that appeared to have engulfed several cars. Iran’s Fars News Agency says one of the targets was the Meron airbase, which is in northern Israel. Israeli attacks across Iran have killed at least 240 people since Friday while Iranian attacks have killed at least 24 people in Israel. Military censorship during war Israeli media have reported on some strikes across the country that have resulted in varying levels of damage and casualties. However, due to military censorship enforced during wartime, reports on attacks involving sensitive or strategic targets are often restricted or withheld from the public. Using open source intelligence, including publicly circulated images and videos on social media, Israeli media platforms as well as visual identification of destroyed locations in Israeli cities, Al Jazeera’s fact-checking unit, Sanad, has mapped some of the most significant Iranian attacks on Israel from Saturday to Monday. These sites are shown on the map below: (Al Jazeera) Sensitive locations targeted On Saturday, missiles landed just 300 metres (984ft) from the Israeli Ministry of Defence headquarters (the Kirya) in Tel Aviv.Sign up for Al JazeeraBreaking News AlertGet real-time breaking news alerts and stay up-to-date with the most important headlines from around the globe. This location, often called “Israel’s Pentagon”, is one of the most sensitive and heavily fortified government complexes in Israel, housing key military and intelligence offices. Another strike hit the Weizmann Institute of Science, one of Israel’s leading research centres, located in Rehovot, south of Tel Aviv. The institute is reported to have collaborated with the Israeli military, making it a significant target. Tel Aviv metropolitan area Several areas across the Tel Aviv metropolitan area have also come under fire. In Ramat Gan, a city adjacent to Tel Aviv, missiles struck several towers and residential complexes, causing significant damage and forcing evacuations.
