Yemen's pro-Iran Houthi rebels have announced two waves of attacks on Israel in 24 hours, after officially opening a new front in the Iran war.
This as Tel Aviv launched airstrikes in Tehran's residential areas and claimed they have significantly damaged the entire production chain of Iran's nuclear program.
Meanwhile, top diplomats from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt are assembling in Islamabad to meet their Pakistan counterpart for talks to address the Middle East tensions.
Houthi rebels in Yemen said on Saturday that they had carried out a second attack on vital sites in southern Israel using cruise missiles and drones.
The group made the announcement in a prerecorded statement following its ballistic missile barrage on Israel's sensitive military targets hours earlier, its first such strike since Israel and the US launched massive military campaign against Iran on February 28th.
A spokesman noted their second wave of bombardment was coordinated with Iran and Hezbollah and had "successfully achieved its objectives," pledging to continue attacks in the coming days until the aggression stops.
Regarding Houthis' participation in the operation, Israel responded that it is preparing for a multi-front war, while warning to retaliate on "anyone who threatens Israeli civilians."
Earlier, Tel Aviv claimed significantly damaging Iran's nuclear program in Operation "Rising Lion" that hit "the entire production chain" to eliminate the threat, though an Israeli military spokesman did not comment on uranium that he said is underground.
The official declared "There will be no nuclear weapons for Iran."
Iranian authorities said the death toll have surpassed 1,900 people in the Islamic Republic in the now month-long war. In capital Tehran, Red Crescent teams conducted operations in debris to free those trapped under a collapsed building. Rescue dogs were deployed to help locate survivors and casualties.
Meanwhile, Iranian missile attacks hit the Israeli village of Eshtaol, leaving a large crater and damaging multiple residential buildings. Israel's ambulance service said seven people have been hospitalised.
In Jerusalem, unlike previous rounds of conflict where the city is spared as a target, the Western Wall Plaza, Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and other major holy sites are now largely closed as families are dejected and exhausted ahead of Passover and Easter as the war drags on.
Pakistan, which positions itself as a potential mediator between Washington and Tehran, is expected to host foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt from Sunday for talks aimed at discussing de-escalation.
