IRAN fired a new wave of missile attacks on Israel yesterday, killing at least eight people, while Israel warned residents of part of Tehran to evacuate ahead of new strikes.

The warning came on the fourth day of the conflict, as the Israeli military claimed to have achieved “aerial superiority” over Iran’s capital.

The military says it has degraded Iranian air defences and missile systems to the point its planes can operate over Tehran without facing major threats. It says Israel now controls the skies from western Iran to Tehran.

Later, the Israeli military warned residents of part of Tehran to evacuate ahead of strikes on military sites in the city.

Iran’s new wave of missile attacks early yesterday triggered air raid sirens across Israel as emergency services reported at least five killed and dozens more wounded in the fourth day of open warfare between the regional foes.
