Aerial attacks between Israel and Iran continued overnight into Monday, marking a fourth day of strikes following Israel's Friday attack. That surprise strike hit the heart of Iran's nuclear program, killing several nuclear scientists as well as high-ranking military leaders, according to Israeli officials.

The U.S. did not provide any military assistance or have any involvement in Israel's Friday strike, a U.S. official told ABC News. President Donald Trump told ABC News on Sunday, "It's possible we could get involved."

Netanyahu tells mayors of impacted areas he will 'provide whatever assistance is needed'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “expressed sorrow” for the three Israelis killed in Iran’s retaliatory strikes Friday in a statement released from his office originally in Hebrew.

Netanyahu said he spoke with the mayors of Rishon LeZion, Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan -- all areas that were hit in the attack.

Netanyahu "told the mayors that the government will provide whatever assistance is needed for rehabilitation and treatment of the damage caused by the attacks," the Prime Minister’s Office said in the statement.

Israel says it killed over 20 commanders in Iran's security apparatus

Israel said it has killed “over 20 commanders in the Iranian regime’s security apparatus,” since the start of the Israeli operation early Friday morning local time.

Iranian Armed Forces General Staff Gholam-Reza Marhabi, who “was considered Iran’s most senior intelligence officer,” the Commander of the IRGC’s Surface-to-Surface Missile Array Mohammad Bagheri and the IRGC’s Air Force Commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh were among those killed in the operation by Israel, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

Bagheri “oversaw most of Iran’s surface-to-surface and cruise missile capabilities,” the IDF said. "Bagheri managed Iran’s firepower systems and played an active role in the decision-making processes behind Iran’s attacks on Israel in April and October 2024."

Hajizadeh "and several other senior officials," were killed in an underground headquarters in Tehran, the IDF said.

'I feel like the collateral damage,' Israeli man says

Dozens of locals gathered to look at damage caused by one of Iran's missiles in Ramat Gan, a city of about 170,000 people which neighbors Tel Aviv.

Police have a large block cordoned-off as officials work at the scene where there is crumbled concrete, twisted metal and flattened cars. White dust coats everything; the trees, the ground, the entire block. Several buildings are destroyed.

"I feel like the collateral damage,” Rony Armon told ABC News. "The walls were shaking. We never imagined that it was so close."

His family took cover in a shelter Friday night as Iran rained missiles down on the city.

"I look horrified at what happens in Gaza, but now it’s in my back door, which is totally different story," he said.

“I hope it will stop as soon as possible,” Armon added. "I think it’s another round of stupid wars that are initiated by my government, in my name. And it’s useless.”
