Iran launched fresh missile attacks toward Israel late Thursday, the military said, as the police reported damage in several locations in central Israel.

The US-Israeli strikes on Iran have set off a regional exchange of fire that entered its sixth day on Thursday, leading to increasing casualties and major political and security consequences, with impacts rippling across the region.

Iran said on Thursday that 1,230 people have been killed in US and Israeli strikes on the country since fighting began on Saturday.

The death toll was announced by Iran's Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs in a statement on its website.

On Wednesday, Iran's Health Ministry said that 6,186 people had been wounded in the strikes. Hossein Kermanpour, head of the ministry's Public Relations and Information Center, said in a post on social media platform X that 2,054 people were hospitalized, 3,545 were treated and discharged, and 552 received medical care at the scene.

At the same time, Israel's military chief Eyal Zamir said in a televised address Thursday that Israeli forces are moving to the "next phase" of their campaign against Iran, in which they will intensify strikes against the Iranian government's foundations and its military capabilities.

Zamir said that following an initial "surprise opening strike" that suppressed Iran's ballistic missile array, the military is now shifting its focus. "We have further surprising moves that I do not intend to reveal," he said. "We will pursue all of our enemies and we will reach them."

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it destroyed a US missile defense radar in the United Arab Emirates and struck a US naval vessel in the Indian Ocean, a local news agency reported Monday.

Earlier on Friday, the IRGC said it had launched its 21st wave of drone and missile strikes on targets in Tel Aviv.

The strikes are part of what Iran calls "Operation True Promise 4," retaliatory attacks following joint US-Israeli strikes on Saturday that killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, several other high-ranking officials, and more than 100 civilians.

Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani warned the United States against carrying out ground invasion against Iranian territory, saying the country's armed forces are waiting and ready for American troops.

A report by a media outlet based on an internal Pentagon notification indicates that the US Central Command has requested additional military intelligence officers to support ongoing operations against Iran for at least 100 days, along with the possibility that such requirements could extend through September.

While President Trump remains positive about where the war is heading, military experts and officials hold the opposite view. They argue that the cost of weapons for the United States and Iran differs significantly, and that such a war of attrition could ultimately work in Iran's favor.
