Israel attacked Iranian state television after Iran fired another wave of missiles at Israel on the fourth day of open warfare between the regional foes.

An Iranian state television reporter stopped a live broadcast when an explosion occurred an hour after Israel issued a warning to evacuate the area of Tehran where the TV studios are located.

Israel says it first bombed Iran to stop it from being able to produce nuclear weapons and the “existential threat” they would represent.

Mohammad-Reza Zafarghandi said in an update that an Israeli strike on Sunday on Quds Square in northern Tehran injured 59 civilians and killed 12 people, including a pregnant woman. That attack also ruptured a main water pipeline.
